Peep words of wisdom

 For over a decade, my Lenten discipline has been playing with Peeps -

yup, the Easter candy synonymous with the holiday

and either loved or despised by millions. 

I don't eat them, but they make great models

and alter egos for my thoughts.

 

Here are some from this year.

Words of wisdom

 

My grandmother once gave me a tip:

in difficult times, you move forward in small steps .

 

Do what you have to do, but little by little.

 

Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.

 

Wash the dishes.

Remove the dust.

Write a letter.

Make soup.

 

You see?

You are advancing step by step.

 Take a step and stop.

Rest a little.

Praise yourself.

Take another step.

Then another.

You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more.

 

And the time will come when you can think about the future

without crying. 

Praying she's right.

Still waiting.
