I (Sarah) am the slowest coffee drinker in the world. Everyone else has long since finished or started on cup 2 (or 3) by the time I reach the bottom of the mug, and of course my latte or long black has turned cold. That doesn’t bother me though, because I lack the ability to do anything but sip slow.
In so many other ways I match the world around me and rush. I walk fast to get to my next destination, get frustrated by lines or traffic or something taking longer than I deem it should.
Maybe I need to take a lesson from my own coffee drinking and slow down and savor.
Do we all need a week to do the same?
What are you savoring? Share with us this week at The Grove and add your pictures on Instagram with the hashtag #VelvetAshesSavoring. If you are celebrating the American holiday of Thanksgiving, tell us about how you are savoring those favorite traditions (and foods) around the world.
