I was reading about this woman who went to work on a farm so that she could unplug from her harried world and one thing she learned was that goats are divided into followers and leaders, and if there is not a leader in the group then they run around like chickens with their heads cut off. I’ve been doing some reading recently trying to uncover who I am and what I am good at doing. One thing that is a hands down given, I’m the leader. I saw E recently because of my anxiety of late and was telling her about a dream I had whereby Blekica kept jumping in the river and I kept having to bend all the way over and get her out. This scene kept playing itself out until suddenly Tin was falling out of the bed, head first, and I had to bend the other way and grab him before he hit bottom only to learn he had a helmet on, but the strap wasn’t tight enough and then I found myself running across Canal Street buck naked except for a skimpy white towel around me. Lord today – there are some stresses in my life right now.<\/p>\n
But Michele said we should all get the bumper stickers that say TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED and I’m trying to think that way because that is a good mantra to have. The question is when you’re playing the game of Simon Says and you’re Simon and you don’t know what the next command is, you get, well, a little anxious.<\/p>\n
