Eureka Moments

I get tired of looking at old people.  First, because I see one every morning when I look into the mirror and second, because I remember people as they used to be --vibrant and alive!  So I am resolved on this Holy Week to change my mind and style.  First, I am going to glance at the person, and when I decide, if the person is well enough to take such scrutiny, I am moving on to conversation.  Age is here for a reason--God is giving me the day to do something-Am I doing anything but taking up space this day?

Maya Angelou says:
"Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.  We come from the Creator with creativity. I think each one of us is born with creativity."

So, what do I do with this creativity when I am taxed to remember if I used the wrong credit card to pay my water bill?   Or if I find myself interrupted by people finishing my sentences?  Or if I have to ask someone who someone else is when I have been that people-identifier for hundreds of others?

My mind is still uniquely mine.  As someone wrote, "Because everyone's mind is wired differently, innovation has many springboards."   So, today, in the middle of Holy Week, I am going to search for a springboard for THIS day!   Tomorrow will take care of itself.   And I'm staying away from the mirror!
