"You Better Slow Your Roll" . . .
...this is a very creative saying that some of my friends at work use quite often...There have been many times when I have been told that I need to "slow my roll"...One friend, Charlotte, once even told me that I needed to "stop my roll"...I'm still not real sure what exactly, specifically it should mean, but I think I'm catching on. I tend to be a big "rusher"...I want everything in my life to be instant gratification. " I want it NOW!" seems to be my motto...so much so I guess, that Josh sometimes calls me Veruca Salt (you know...Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...the girl with the golden goose?). I think I'm learning though. I'm in a situation where things are moving along at a pretty slow, even-keeled pace, and there's not much I can do about it anyways...so, I'm just enjoying it, going along for the ride, "slowing my roll". And I like it...I like it a lot! It's much more simple, and there seems to be something more to look forward to. I don't think it will be possible to completely "stop my roll", and never say "I want it NOW!" again, but for the moment, and maybe in other moments in my life I can just "Sit back, and RELAX!". (HA, I didn't mean to do that, but there's actually a really funny story about that last line - involving Jess, Colorado, a broken down Probe, and Pike's Peak - it just came out).
