Explore A Change Of Plans

It's been a long time

I thought I could figure things out

Time has a way of slipping away

Thinking in a different direction than I was leaning

Could there be an important reason ?

Why I am led by the hand ?

What can I learn from this experience ?

In the coming days I will find my answer

I was working in the yard

A pile of brush (old branches and leaves) left

Leaves for a compost piled high

Two lawn mowers and a couple of unfinished projects

Loose wood in a pile

Became a concern

The fire inspector said the pile has got to go

I started it last summer and covered it with a tarp for the winter

Plans for an outdoor garden center that never happened

Distracted by other more important issues

I dropped the ball

So I went out in the yard to start Spring preparations

Going in my shed

Pulling out the lawn chair cushions

Yard decorations to make the front yard look nice

Small black fence around the house

The bird feeder up

I have two days off

Rain earlier in the week and rain at the end of the week

So making the most of the good weather

Plans to go out with friends later in the day

So I have to get an early start

Windy yesterday kept me on my toes

A little sore from all the bending

I have so many things I want to do

My imagination is a powerful tool

That can be a great benifit

If I don't stay focused it can also lead me into unnecessary trouble

I will put my thoughts into a clearer action

Weeding through and cutting to the chase

I have been busy wrapping my head around a few other ideas

That are in the early stages of development

Postponing them temporarily

Just when I feel my creative juices flowing

Like clearing a clog in the sink

A trickle of water is going down the drain

Where a rush of water should be

Instead I'm the only one in the elevator and hitting the hold button

With two or more people waiting

Wondering what's the hold up

Come on

We have things to do

They are not pleased

You could say I down right peed on their parade

An uncomfortable spot to be in

I also feel like I was the car that broke down in the middle of a small dirt road

Where nobody can pass

A mother of five kids are in the car right behind my bumber

Sure I knew the car was acting up

Did I know it would break down today

No

Did I have the money to get it fixed

No

Does it change the outcome no

So off to do some unfinished business

Stressed because I am pushed for time

My wife had told me last fall

You have to clean up your mess

I hit a snag

Getting my line caught on the rocks below

I keep tugging not to lose my weight and hook

There comes a point where you have to pull as hard as you can

Take your losses

Even though my free time was used for weddings and other appointments

More excuses as she rolls her eyes

I am not sure I am one hundred percent at fault

Enough of the jibber jabber

Time to spring into action

Like a Winnie The Pooh fairytale

I am Tigger

Bounce ...Bounce...Bounce

On to my new adventure
