As
I was watching some leaves skipping in the wind this way and that across the
grass this morning, I thought about the back-and-forth skipping my life often does.
Time and again, I seem to bounce around from plan to plan, promise to promise,
goal to goal – happily giving myself permission to change my mind, double back,
rethink things, take a new trail. One fine idea gives way to a finer one. One
second I decide to take the trash out, but then, in a flash, I do the dishes instead.
At 9:00 I know exactly what I want to do this afternoon, but at 9:01 a
more wonderful plan appears. Back and forth, here and there, this and that,
one thing and then another. Leaves let themselves loose to the winds, and so,
sometimes, do I. Life shifts and skips second by second, and – usually with a
smile – so do I.
