Chill out …
Today is a warm, sunny summer day.
It’s a beautiful day.
Have one!
I’ve always found it interesting how some boast they rarely take a vacation. Some wake up tweeting about business, greatness, politics, and “crushing it!” Some are constantly running and desperately depend on their smartphone and tablet to inform them where and why.
Some people just need to have a beautiful day.
Sometimes we need to put down our phones, cancel an appointment or three, turn off the computer, TV and other assorted electronic devices, and go outside. Sleep an hour later. Get some exercise. Have another cup of coffee while reading a good book. Talk to a friend. Go for a walk or run. Breathe a little deeper and a little slower.
For a day. At least, for an hour.
Sometimes we need to simply enjoy the beauty of what God has put into a single day. After all, why do you think He put it there?

This is so true Dr. Scott! We are so 'over stimulated' – everyone seems to be operating on 'overdrive' until their system goes nuts on them – they get sick or crash.. even our kids – doing crazy things – snapping.. because they do not know how to vent their emotions – and they have never seen and don't know how to 'chill'. We think it is a criticism – a cuss word – 'to chill' – if we only knew – it is the secret to life. zoesinger

Yes, at least the "secret" to enjoying life. No day is promised, each one we have has something beautiful from God in it. Yet, we tend to hurtle ourselves through life without experiencing the beauty of God we have today.
