International Slow Down Week

I have had an email letting me know that this week (January 14-20) is INTERNATIONAL SLOW DOWN WEEK. The email tells me "It's not too late to slow down and renew your intentions for a saner, more mindful way of life in 2007. If you’re ready to experiment with a different, more fulfilling rhythm, join us in celebrating the second annual For one week, instead of running to catch the bus or zipping in and out of traffic, try walking to work. Instead of grabbing take-out on the way home, cook a meal with your family. Leave the TV and computer off, and play an old-fashioned board game, or just sit and catch up with family and friends. If possible, take a day off work — and then while it away with a long walk and an afternoon nap." Further information can be found here.

That is my challenge to you my friends. In your busy week this week, I want you to make space to do something you wouldn't normally do that slows down the pace. I'm going to try too. Don't forget to leave an account on your blog (whether you fail or succeed). And most importantly, have fun!
