- RELAXED
- SLOW
- LEISURELY
- PLACID
- CALM
- GENTLE
- SPANGRAM: TAKE YOUR TIME
- My rating: Easy

One of the many disadvantages of aging is that you become slower, while the world around you speeds up. I’m doubly sorry because a knee injury means I can currently only wander the world at a snail’s pace.
Anyway, I still feel like people are in too much of a hurry to get to places they don’t need to rush to and I totally agree with the promotion of today’s words into the consciousness of a chaotic planet.
Ironically, I didn’t really use the TAKE YOUR TIME mantra while zooming in on the search that started with the letter X, which pointed me toward RELAXED.
