Steps to Somewhere
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down. Whoever walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is devious in his ways despises him. Proverbs 14: 1,2. As I advance through each minute of my life, I am constantly reminded of how I should be and where I might go. When I am standing at the bottom of steps, I naturally want to go up them. If I am at the top, I want to go down. just to go SOMEWHERE! Sometimes it is good to sit on them and rest, but not for too long lest the dust and fat and bones settle in. Right now, I would love to just run out and go take pictures, but feel it is imperitave for me to stay here and keep an eye on the remodel project. We've had quite a few glitches, which I now understand is normal. The day out there is beautiful and I am definately missing out. Like I am stuck on the steps to somewhere, going nowhere. But there is good here on this step. I am catching up on you, my xanga friend...reading and looking at pictures. I am enjoying this cyber friendship so very much. So, I guess, emotionally, I AM on a step to somewhere!

Awwww ~ that is a great post!!!
A lesson in contentment too
glad you stopped by. I love the stairs ... would love to make an outdoor fire pit out of stones and morter like these steps. I can see myself going up the steps and sitting on the top...watching cars go by, watching trees bending in the wind...just sitting, listening, enjoying,.
i love this thought. i have to remind myself that pausing on a step is a chance to stop & take a look around at the view...
ryc: i think the most frustrating thing is that i really DO like these people, and i wish they'd give the author a chance to explain himself. it seems that when someone gets a little miffed with something or someone, nothing else they say or do counts for anything positive.
Good to hear from you, I was wondering how you were doing!
Gail, your post reminded me of the pic I posted at one of my other blogs this morning. For a look, click on over.
I enjoy your blog.... and our cyber-friendship.
