Bumping Down the Stairs

11. November 2011

Today is 11-11-11 and while it is Veterans Day many people are at their places of work (or looking for work).  It goes without saying that today we should reflect on all that our Veterans have done and are doing for us.  Thanks Veterans!!

It may also be a good time to step back from the rat race, if only for a moment, and think what you would do differently and better if you only had the time.  Today I remember the famous Winnie the Pooh cartoon still which illustrates the point very well.

“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.”

This is the opening line of Winnie the Pooh written in 1926 by A.A.Milne
