enough

i experienced enough yesterday.  it felt really good.  i had enough sense to drive safely on the whacked out snowy streets.  i had enough skill to maneuver through traffic with 3.83 million fellow road warriors.  i had a lovely chat with my dad.  another one with my mom.  talked to g'ma.  spoke with, emailed or texted with my wonderful best friend.  had a decent meal.  went to bed at 10.  it was a good day.

makes me wonder why more people do not recognize the enough in their own life.   you know, bigger is not always better.  and neither is more.  faster can sometimes be fun - but it requires more concentration to avoid ending up in the ditch or embankment and you really don't get to see as much when you are going faster. 

so slow down, enjoy the route, feel the bumps and potholes of life and savor the fact that you are alive and moving and in control (and if you are out of control stop what you are doing right now and get there!).  stop trying to amass more and recognize enough and enjoy it.
