Slow Doors

I am someone with short legs. Standing under 5 feet tall, I have compensated most of my life by walking fast in order to catch up with other people who have a longer stride to their step. 
This week that almost got me in trouble. 
I was in Michaels, piking up some supplies for a crafting project, when I almost ran smack into their exit doors. Doors that automatically open - but do so s-l-o-w-l-y. 
As I was leaving the store, avoiding the near incident, I realized that there may be an invitation, to slow down my hurried life, all because of those doors. While I have trained my body over the years to move quickly in order to compensate for what I had perceived to be something wrong, the reality is that I should be able to move at a pace that is contemplative more than quick. 
What invitations have you received to slow down and have you honored them?
