🛣️ the scenic route: on savoring slower seasons. [OHT 095]

12/26/2025 • 11 min

The pace is the point. When life is fuller, (some) things take longer. Instead of feeling sad about that (which is, of course, human and allowed), what if we choose to see this as the scenic route™? We're not forcing patience or settling for a slower pace. We're focusing presence and savoring it. When we remember to, anyway ;) This has been one of my biggest lessons of 2025. I didn't realize how often I was comparing my pace to my 10-year-ago self, who had 1-2 kids and a husband who was gone most of the time. I now have three kids, at three different schools and stages of development, a husband who works from home most of the time, and a budding knowledge of perimenopause and what I can do to keep my knees strong for my Nana years. This is a very different daily setup. And it's I used to DREAM of. Thankful for the moments I can remember that. The pace is the point on the scenic route. May we appreciate it for what it is, as deeply and as often as possible. 📮 Thoughts, Qs, topics you’d love to hear more about?
