Thursday Thoughts: Universal Small Steps

Yeah. I fell down on the job. Normally, I set up these posts the day before because…

While I’m awake–normally–at 6 a.m., I’m doing things like letting Jake in and out and feeding Pete and Loki and the porch cats. Then I put up the dishes from the previous night’s dinner and a few other housekeeping details before settling in at my desk and…well…I’m normally on autopilot when it comes to wors until at least 8 o’clock. Or so. But I got distracted yesterday. Actually, I got frustrated. Word was being a PITA. Then Iffy decided the book needed a brand new prologue. And then Word continued to be a PITA (and I’m not talking about the really yummy Greek-style bread!) so in all that mayhem, I forgot about the blog. Turns out, yesterday’s message from the Universe kinda sorta reminded me of…stuff.

The thing about making it big and doing it fast, Silver, is that invariably the first steps will be small and slow.

Which oddly, for too many, is reason not to take them.

You know better, huh?

P.S. Silver, shoes comfy?

So, the Universe decided I needed to take small steps in this big book. Or something. Because WordPress decided it wanted to not play nice for about 10 minutes. 😔 *sigh* I haven’t had my coffee yet so I’m not sure if I’m making sense or not. That said, I’m my my comfy houseshoes. I’ll get back to work on the book AFTER that coffee. In the meantime, what big things are you doing today?

    The Universe always seems to spot on. I’m glad you have on your comfy shoes. Feet make a huge difference in how we feel and most don’t have a clue.

    My big thing was to brave the ice, TWICE. I drove to get hubs prescription and the driveway was a sheet of ice. My anti-lock brakes kicked in twice. When I got home the car did not want to turn on the ice and head into the garage. For a moment I thought things were going to get bad. Thank God they didn’t.

    Later, at 2:30, I braved the drive on foot to get the mail. 187 feet doesn’t seem like much unless you’re sliding and jerking your body to stay upright. I made it but I feel the pull in my back.

    I hope the computer world treated you better today and you accomplished your daily goal. ☺️

      TEN feet is a long way on ice. 187 is not just a trek, it’s a journey to the North Pole! Bless you for your fortitude to brave the elements not once but twice! And yeah, the computer is okay. Today its the brain that wants to skip around. Oh! Look! SQUIRREL!!! However, I am about to settle in and play catch up. Stay warm! And off the ice. LOL ❤
