Life Slows Down

My time of convalescence is nearing its end and that makes me very sad. I need to get back to work but my period of physical healing has allowed me to slow life down. It has allowed me to spend much more time with Molly in the twilight of her life than I ordinarily would have been able to spend. It has allowed me to absorb our walks rather than just take them and it has allowed me to stop and smell the roses with Molly rather than just sprint by them because I have somewhere else I have to be. Molly has taught me how to slow down and appreciate the small things going on around me. I am hoping the lessons were not lost on me and I can carry these teachings back to work with me.
