One step at a time

When most people see a staircase, they go up it one step at a time. Not me. I try to take it at least two at a time. Even if it hurts. (Yes, I'm talking both literally and figuratively here.) And that's just dumb.

So lately I've been making a conscious effort to take it all one at a time. One day at a time. One step at a time. I decided I should figure out how to really enjoy what I've got while I've got it. Especially during this time of year when it can get so crazy, it's all gone without ever stopping to notice anything but the burden of it all.

So that's my new mantra. One step at a time. If you hear me mumbling it over in the corner, at least now you'll understand why.
