How's Your Pace?

During our first full winter in Montana, a friend gave me some of the best advice for the snowy road conditions here in the Treasure State. 
“Drive at the speed you’re comfortable slamming into the ditch at.”
While laughing at the pointed guidance, I also considered the implications for other areas. As caregivers, we often race around at breakneck speeds—while in treacherous conditions. Relationships, money, and our health can all be severe hazards. The faster we move, the greater the risks.
