Baby Stepping

The world is divided into two halves. Those who laugh with delight at What About Bob and those who "hate" What About Bob. I think it is delightfully funny and witty and nonsensical. Especially nonsensical. Because sometimes it's nice in life when things do not make any sense at all. And people who say they hate it, well. So.

Well, today was the first day of the rest of my life, and tomorrow will be the same. And what does that have to do with a movie about a neurotic psychologist and his neurotic and needy patient? Why, baby stepping of course! That is what I'm doing, you see. "I'm baby stepping. I'm doing the work!"

I think that means today I get up and do my best. And then tomorrow I do the same. In several months from now, I will look back and say, WOW! What a difference those small steps every day made. I know, I know. Really the movie is making fun of the whole baby steps. (I'm actually laughing right now, in my head, at how funny that movie is.) But I'm choosing to see it differently.

I see too much of the big picture instead of looking at small steps today and small steps tomorrow. Small steps, I'm telling you, small steps. And then in three months, I've secured a job. And then in six months, I've finished a first draft of my novel. And then in a year, I feel independent once again. And maybe I even get published. Ahhhh, sweet fantasy. Hey...other people can do it, so can I.

So whatever. Make fun. But I'm going to keep baby stepping...I'm doing the work!
