"I don't mind running with turtles." This quote landed in my inbox not long ago as a semi-joke and the funny thing is it totally clicked with me! I loved the tortoise and the hare story the first time I read it. I enjoy taking my time to learn a few things, observe, and just gain awareness of my surroundings. I eat slow like my grandma and now that I write it out, I realize it's just another one of the things that will be added to my "Grandma Gwen" characteristics. For me, slowing down means smelling the roses, giving logic, emotions and reason some space to hash things out, a good meal to gain some flavor, and joyful experiences to really sit with me. Eventually, I'll get to where I really want to be and I'll "win" exactly what I'm after in the end.
