Slow the Ride-I Want Off

I'm starting this blog, because I want to explore a slower life. I'd like to document that search on this spot. Our family is living so much faster than I want to live. Our world is living faster than our earth can stand, and I don't want to be a part of it. I'm a special education teacher, and I feel like our push, push, push lifestyle has made it impossible for me to do the job I thought I was doing. I wonder if children even learn anything of value anymore. I wonder if we're really teaching them to read and write-to think-or if we're just teaching them to go faster, faster, faster.

I don't like the fast food, fast travel, fast living, and I don't want to keep up with the Joneses anymore. I want my family to live slower, to know where their food comes from, to live a simple life and really take time to enjoy the world we've been given.

I'm just starting this journey, and ironically enough, my husband is hurrying me to get off of the computer. I guess slow will have to come tomorrow.
