Timing

I thought about the timing 

of things today. We all know 

about the timing of schedules, 

calendars and day books 


but that’s the working world; or 

getting kids to hockey practice or 

music lessons. One can’t forget the timing that is needed to dance a fast jive 


or a graceful waltz. My concern today was nothing so interesting. This afternoon, while I was at the mall, the little silver gray slider that 


zipped up my heavy coat came off in 

my hand. It was cold, windy with 

snow forecast. Were the planets 

challenging the goings on of the 


miniscule life of my zipper?! The timing 

couldn’t have been worse. It was  

only after I was out and away from home. 

Fortunately I also have snaps on my 


coat so got home without my coat flapping 

in the wind. A quick browse on You Tube 

gave me an answer to my predicament.
