PatitucciPhoto Don’t just do something, stand there………….. A friend recently said this, making me laugh, but also, really staying with me. In these times of, “I’m so busy”, being the common response to, “How are you?”, maybe it’s time to just hit pause. Stop and stand there, do nothing, watch snow flakes drift by, stare at the wall, and see things for what they really are. Enjoy the places your own thoughts take you, drop the perception of being so busy. You probably aren’t. And if you are, well, think about it.
