Ugh... I got a speeding ticket yesterday. I was so mad at myself. I was leaving my son's fifteen month appointment and had just entered a school zone where the speed limit dropped by ten. He got me maybe two seconds after the change. I could feel the tears instantly welling up. I hate being a girl sometimes! I did not want to cry, so I did not even try to explain that I had just left a shot and tear-filled doctor's appointment and was trying to get home so my son could take a much-needed nap...and honestly, I knew there was a school zone and knew better than to continue going the previous speed. I really had no excuse and just accepted the ticket, sweat off about five pounds, swallowed my tears, and hoped my son would not remember the words that left my mouth when I saw the cop's flashing lights.
I came home in a huff, put my son down for his nap, and decided that I would take this as a sign that I need to just slow down in general. Sometimes life can take over, we try to do too much, and just need to be reminded to slow it down a little...relax...calm down...just enjoy being, instead of trying to rush through everything.
I turned to Etsy for some further inspiration, knowing I would not be disappointed. I wanted to find images that would remind me to take things a little slower and just chill out. I was pleased and hope you will be too!!
Unfortunately because of my speed-demon ways, I now have four hours of online traffic school in my future to avoid having this on my record. I haven't gotten a ticket in at least ten years, so I don't want to add this on there now!
Honestly, I think if we all took a little time to chill out and take things a bit slower and with more thought, this place might be even happier! :)
