I'm sitting outside of Starbucks, sipping some deeeelicious coffee and grading some faaaabulous papers (love my students!) and I'm thinking about making wise decisions.
I would like to be wise. I love owls. I love glasses. I love men who wear sweater vests. A love of wisdom seems implied. Haha
In all seriousness, though, a wise Word once said that faith without works -- or for the purposes of my thoughts today -- "knowledge" without action ... is dead.
So today I celebrate the extremely small step of realizing what needs to be done ... and then doing it. Since my mom and dad practically drove that expression into the proverbial ground of my childhood, I know they'd be proud to know I'm living it today. Well, technically, yesterday and today. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Oh, and the title? Well, it's a sister-thing, but suffice it to say -- if your pants are too tight and they're giving you a tummy ache, you gotta unzip. There's just No Other Option. In life, sometimes you've gotta suck it up, let go of whatever's holding you too tightly, and do the right thing. The cool thing is, whether in a real-life-pants-situation or a metaphysical decision-making situation, "unzipping" offers nearly-instant relief.
(for sisters A and G)
