Beautifully written. I love the three ways you define slow living for your own benefit. Sometimes if you don't slow down in any of the three ways you define, life or circumstances has a way of forcing you so. Such is the case of medical conditions. You're working at a hundred miles a moment, not taking care to enjoy yourself or find peace and relax. The moment an illness hits, you're faced with recovery. You slow down and take a look around to see how you got to that place of moving slowly. Reflection sets in, and hopefully a new attitude. But I hope it doesn't take an illness like the underlying ones I have to force one to take it slow.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care.
