Here I sit on a gorgeous winter morning The sun is shining and the temperature has risen 10 degrees to 5 above zero My furnace is working and as I stumble forward I believe it is working better than my grey cells I look around at my four Poinsettia plants I harvested them from the church dumpster They are all doing well and if I am careful will survive for next Christmas. That will be my wish Isn’t it true that we all have aspirations? Many times manage to achieve our goal and then move on to the next? Sometimes we wonder why things went so well Many times it is because no one was in the way of our progress. Many times it is because I acted on my own and asked questions later. The job was finished after having been neglected, but the input on how others might have done it roll in like a tidal wave. I ask myself if I am in the way of others’ dreams of accomplishments. It is surely something to think about. Wisdom and honor may say step aside, but privacy and humility may trump what may be considered graciousness. Life goes on. New problems and chances. Can’t look back. Too much ahead. Stanski February 14, 2020 ^
