Just thinking...

I am paying bills and being responsible. I just looked longingly out my window pondering the possibilities of bike rides or hikes when the agile acrobatics of a squirrel caught my attention. I am amazed at their skills. It jumps off a tree to a fence top, scampers across the ledge, leaps onto a roof and bounds up the steep incline with zero effort shown. I found myself wishing I had those abilities for a moment, then my head cleared and I realized, I have done just those types of things. I have done them in the past and I can currently do them if I choose. It became resoundingly clear that, though I may not have the grace and careless speed of that squirrel, I can climb to heights and be active. This is a new ability for me and I'm still getting used to it. Isn't it interesting how easily I fall into old habits of wishing for stuff that I can now do simply because I haven't always been able to do it? I find it interesting.

I had best hurry through my responsibilities. I wanna go play now! Maybe I'll climb onto my roof and sweep off all the debris from the windstorm. *smirk*
