Pause and Reflect

By Glennel Hardy

 When was the last time you seized the opportunity to take a few minutes to pause and reflect?  In a world where we are constantly on the move, and everything has a deadline do we ever enjoy the silence around us. As I am sitting in the spare bedroom, and typing this short blog, it’s nothing but silence that surrounds me.  Looking outside there is silence in the streets, the world for just one moment, there is a pause and silence.

 If we keep running towards the next thing, when do we ever sit back and reflect where we have already been. Reflection is just as vital as moving ahead, but in order to stay on track for what lies in front of us, we have to consider how we got to where we are today.  If ever you feel that you are too caught up in the moment, find the silent spot to pause and reflect.
