All Fall Down
We all fall down. We might trip over a crack in the sidewalk. We might miss a step while carrying the laundry to the basement. We might fall off a curb while walking and texting. We might act or speak in a manner that slice right into someone’s heart. We all fall down. The question is whether we can get back up. And whether we have a backup plan if we don’t. I was reminded of the importance of backup plans a few weeks ago. The weather in Iowa was stubbornly holding on to winter, but Kyra and our backyard birds were thinking it should be Spring. So, Kyra and I spent the afternoon cutting and gluing and sewing and creating a milk jug bird feeder. A few hours later, the feeder was host to our first chickadees, juncos, sparrows, and cardinals of the season.
