Slow Down, You Move too Fast
One of my old friends, Alyssa, told me about smoking. She said smokers don't necessarily enjoy a cigarette while they are smoking it, but that they are already looking forward to the next one. I thought (judgmentally) that they ought not be smokers, then. But then she related it to my indulgence in a bag of chocolate chips. "Do you enjoy each handful as you wolf them down? Or are you looking forward to the next one even while you are eating your current handful?"
She made a good point.
That was (let's see...hmm) 4.5 years ago, and I'm still trying to learn that lesson. I'm not a smoker, but I do love to eat. And I still tend to eat way too fast, instead of eating every bite and savoring it.
The moral of the story? Listen to Simon and Garfunkel. They knew what they were singing about: Slow down. You move too fast. You've got to make the moment last.
