Why I'm Watching My Step

     If I walk ten thousand steps each day, I’ll be healthier, right? But this won’t be the magic bullet. It also matters where and how I tread.
     I learned this from novelist Lorna Landvik. In Patty Jane’s House of Curl, one of her characters warns that life can be like a ballroom dance or it can be like walking through a barnyard. Either way, you have to watch your step.
     
That’s true for me. Sometimes life is as graceful as a ballroom dance. So smooth I get caught up in myself and trip and land on someone’s toes. “Ouch,” for both of us.
     
Other times, barnyards happen, and I’m dodging life’s manure. Then I need to be mindful that I don’t slip and fall face first into the stuff.
     
So as I move into the new year, I want to not only increase my number of strides, but also to watch my step. That the best way to enjoy the dancing while dodging the dung.
​     
And when I take missteps, I'll tell others - and myself - that I’m sorry.
     Because I'll still make mistooks . . . I mean mistakes.

If you fell into trap for a lot of times, I am pretty sure that you will be careful on the next steps you are about to take. Perhaps, it is all about because you don't want the same mistake to happen once again. At the same time, there are so many people who wanted to try new things. It would be better to watch their steps as well. If ever they fall, you should be there to help them to stand up once again. On the other hand, I am happy to see that you had this realization in life this new year!
