This yellow tulip tries to outshine
robins, sparrows and finches
each year from the same bed
where west sun warms the wall.
Never mulched against winter
unless with autumn leaves
or dried grasses, the little bulb
rests through the long winter
reappears when the warmth returns.
“Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace.”
~ French Proverb
It was a tough one.
A community Choir event ~
pre-scheduled
A four year old’s birthday party
sudden opportunity this morning
Both set for the same time:
no choice?
Both events involved singing:
Beautiful soaring music with
Regina’s Sisters in Song
Happy Birthday song around
the kitchen table with family!
(No photo available)
“Those who wish to sing always find a song.”
~ Swedish Proverb
Schedules are not pretty
lines, boxes,
spread sheets and graphs.
They are handy,
but don’t fit into real life.
Two events that occur at
the same time on the same day -
how do I choose?
Will someone be offended
when I cancel one of the duplicates?
When it comes to
seizure activity for any reason,
schedules dissolve instantly
Epilepsy hasn’t read the memo
about ‘a most convenient time’
So we plan, we avoid risks,
we take our meds,
we shape our lives and
never stop believing
in our own strength.
“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule,
but to schedule your priorities.”
~ Stephen Covey, author
(1932 ~ 2012)
