Pause. In a sentence, a semi-colon signals a pause. It isn’t a full-fledged stop like a period. It is shorter than a colon and longer than a comma. It is a pause. It allows a breath, but doesn’t demand a change of course.

I am committed to pausing, even when it isn’t easy or natural. I stayed in Florida a few days longer than Dave. I was ready to be home but my ticket wasn’t until Friday. I checked earlier flights but the difference in fare was too much, so I contented myself to stay. It was a daily, sometimes hourly, decision to remain content. I reminded myself to take deep breaths and relax into the opportunity. I paused.

If you are a fan of March Madness and you don’t change channels during commercial breaks, you may have seen this ad by Gatorade. It certainly caught my attention.

Join me this week as I consdier the power of pausing. Are you ready for a pause? What will it look like? What will you do? Where will you go?
