Someone Who Knows HowTo Slow Down

By
Home Inspector with JRV Home Inspection Services, LLC HOI 394

The week has come to and end or is just beginning depending on how you like to look at the calendar. No matter how you see it, today is Sunday, a day to slow down and relax. Morning is a great time to sit out on the deck and watch the sun chase away the shadows with a cup of coffee listening to the birds sing. Sitting there you may notice other creatures going about their daily routines. This fellow sure has got the right attitude for today.

A fellow who really knows how to slow down

Good morning James, So true!  I do have to fulfill my morning AR as I am committed to some day-in and day-out functions with my business...fortunately, AR is one of the fun "to-do"s".  Then I will be enjoying fellowship and fun and a lovely (hot) day here in TX.  Thanks for sharing!

Work feels like labor. Doing what you love, passion does not. Days off are rare as always thinking about some aspect. Real estate is a sport, some say an affliction.

Good morning, James. I have two inspections to write but I will wait until later. I have been run ragged these past few days. I plan to chill for awhile...

I was smiling as I read your post because I am doing just that-cup of coffee in hand, sitting on my porch listening to the birds. Its a beautiful day in Washington DC and like thinking about others enjoying their morning too. Thanks!

JQ, a well deserved break from crawling all over people's houses! Relax and enjoy! Slugs and sunshine, that's some combo! :D

James,

Make sure that you salt those things prior to eating them. I learned that from Chuckie Bee.

I do enjoy a relaxing day every now and then but my personal drive often makes me feel a tad bit guilty. I think it's that old "Life's too short to let it slip by" mindset.

That guy definitely knows the meaning of taking it slow! Something we all should be doing at least once a week to avoid burning out.

Slowing down is something I don't do very well.

But, of all buts, I am taking my annual three-day vacation this week!  It's on to VA Beach!

Lisa, A little AR fix is always part of the morning routine :) Enjoy your day.

Andrew, Yup, there is a big difference between a job and your passion. +

Michael, I have one to finish and then I am FREEEE for the rest of the day.

Victoria, I wonder how many others are doing the same with us.

Peg, Yes I guess it is :)

Clint, You need to take a day buddy, you know what they say about all work and no play :)

Charlie, A black slug! How cool is that.

Steve, Salt them first, who knew.

Mike, I know that guilt can get in the way, shove it from your mind, you'll glad you did.

Craig, So true, we have to recharge the batteries.

Don, If you lived near me when we were kids, boy oh boy the trouble we would gotten into :)

James,

But then eat them quickly because the salf makes them melt. It is like holding your popsicle under warm water so it is not so cold.

James, I sat out on the back deck and listened to the night birds until the wee early Sunday hours. Didn't have coffee though....
