baby steps

do you ever stumble and catch yourself?

have you ever fallen up the steps?

have you been walking along in your cute heels when suddenly for no ovious reason your ankle tricks out on you and you end up catching yourself and almost sprawling face down on the sidewalk?

are you ever just walking along and catch the front of your shoe on the sidewalk and do a face plant?

i've done all of these and can attest--OUCH!


more often it's my pride that pains me at being caught in an unflattering moment.
at times i have had bruises and skinned knees to prove how inept i am at walking a straight line.
i don't even ingest alcohol. it's just me at my best and most klutzy.

honestly, it's enough to keep a girl humble.

lately, i feel like i've been taking lots of baby steps. learning how to walk again.
getting closer to figuring out what direction i should be heading.
i think, that maybe, just maybe, i'm getting close to figuring out the next step.

here's hoping.

Ah ... this is one of those thought provoking posts. It made me stop and think about what you're saying and how it applies to everyone.
