TWO FORWARD, ONE BACK


Sounds like the kid game we used to play called Mother May I. We would ask "Mother" if we could move and the person playing Mother would tell us how many steps. Since Mother had their back to the pack, we had to choose very carefully "when" we could and should move and how big or small to make the steps so as NOT to get caught in motion. Mother could turn around at any time and as many times as they wished and if Mother saw you moving, you had to go all the way back to the start line.

Life is like that some times. You make a step or two forward and then it seems you make one back the way you came. You don't know why. Habits and patterns are hard to break. So you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again! Sounds like a good lyric for a song. But it is a good motto for living...don't give up!
