Was I ever in a hurry this morning.<\/p>\n

It felt like one of those days, when I had 93 things of my \u201cTO DO\u201d list, well before 8 a.m.<\/p>\n

I started churning at 5:30 on this morning, as with every new born day.\u00a0 The first priorities are dog-chores and coffee construction.\u00a0 After the coffee, the rest of it falls in line.<\/p>\n

By 7 a.m. I was headed out to the Chickens.\u00a0 Yes, to clean up chicken poop, and feed those poop-ers more food, in order for them to poop again.\u00a0 And we go full cycle.\u00a0 Round and round.<\/p>\n

As I bopped out the door, I could tell the sunrise was going to be amazing, again, today.\u00a0 \u201cI should shoot it,\u201d I thought.\u00a0 \u201cNo time,\u201d I argued back in my head.\u00a0 \u201cKronenberger, MAKE time.\u00a0 Go back in there and get your camera!\u201d…I retorted.\u00a0 And…. when I call myself Kronenberger in my head\u2026 it is serious business.<\/p>\n

So. I took off my Chicken Boots, went back in the house, and got my camera.\u00a0 I bent over to retrieve it from the fireplace hearth in the living room.\u00a0 When I righted myself, I rammed my skull directly into the underside of the mantle.\u00a0 I about knocked myself bluto.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat.\u00a0 Stop and shoot the sunrise\u2026 and look what you get.\u00a0 A knot on the back of your head, and a throbbing headache.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whhhhaaaaaat is the lesson there?<\/p>\n

A couple of hours later, I recounted the story to Mary.\u00a0 And asked the same question.\u00a0 Now\u2026 What the heck is the lesson THERE?<\/p>\n

She said no one was giving me a lesson.\u00a0 I just needed to be more mindful.<\/p>\n

Now what kind of bunk is that?\u00a0 Of course someone was giving me lesson. There HAD to be something completely profound there\u2026.\u00a0 a great message from the tickity-tockity of the Universe\u2026. \u2026 something\u2026.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m lllliiiiisssssttennnnninnnnggggg\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cPolly. You are a helpless, mindless, klutz.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so it goes.<\/p>\n

You can never regret anything you do in life. You kind of have to learn the lesson from whatever the experience is and take it with you on your journey forward.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a0 –Aubrey O’Day<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The lesson is that you can still make mistakes and be forgiven.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n — Robert Downey, Jr.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
