Pause

The rat race leaves little time to take five on the sidelines. That hare will surely speed by you dare a rose keep your attention too long. The simple things, like using your nose to smell a flower, become luxurious pastimes appreciated far more because of their rarity. This is the one beautiful thing about working too much, free minutes are savored like the rain drops in our desert.
So if you too are stuck in a workers rut with vacation relief seemingly far away, here are some everyday moments worth relishing in.

1. Watching a dog hump your friend.
Ageless, hours of entertainment.

2. Solving a puzzle.
Whether it's jigsaw or crossword, five minutes or five hours, your mind will feel refreshed and ready to solve one of your own.

3. Clipping yo' nails
Its meditative.
Did you know that you can get pin-worms from the funk under there?

4. Excepting invitations from random strangers
They are adventures and friends waiting to be met.

5. Watching Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with your dad
Dads aren't there forever. And neither will be movies like that.
