Sunday Thoughts

Trampoline

Bouncin' upon the trampoline

So high above the ground,

Just as I was goin' up

I saw her- comin' down.

She had a daisy in her hair,

She wore a silken gown,

But when she started goin' up,

I was comin' down.

I tried to say, "Hello--nice day."

She smiled and spun around.

"come up awhile with me," yelled she,

But I was goin' down.

And so, as yet, we've never met

Because we've sadly found 

That one is always goin' up

While one is comin' down.

-Shel Silverstein

Most of the time I read Shel Silverstein's books for comic relief, but since it's Sunday I'm feeling all profound or something like that, so here are my thoughts this afternoon. Take some time out of your day to talk to that person you've meant to talk to, but have been too busy to do so. Call up an old friend you haven't seen in a while, and spend some time catching up with them. You don't know what they are going through, and they might just need someone to talk to or need to know that someone cares.  So cut your Sunday nap short 15 minutes and go find that person! I promise it will put a smile on their face and yours!
