Great post, Reggie. Your meditation on being slow sent me off on a meditation about wanting more. I always want more. I want to be healthier, more athletic, more attractive, more active in my community, better educated, more accomplished in my career, younger (!), a better musician, lighter, better dressed, better social skills... No matter how much I have, I'll always want more, and I want it a LOT. I have to laugh at how selfish most of my wants are, but it's the truth.
On the positive side, all that wanting keeps me motivated. On the down side, I don't always take the time to appreciate what I have. Congratulations for appreciating that you've come so far and you *can* be active.
