Some things just logically follow other things.

April follows March. April never comes after September…. … well, unless you count how years loop around endlessly. Then it will eventually sequence around to September.

Eight follows seven. P follows O. “That” goes right after “This And”.

It goes on and on.

There are simply natural successions in life.

“Hat” follows “A Cat In The….”

Like “Latin” follows “Pig”.

Heck, Facebook even came up with a TimeLine so that I am able to see how pathetic I am, over an elapsing time frame, here on the grand social network.

Siblings.  Train Cars.  Baby Ducks.  And unfortunately, Lemmings and Dodo Birds.

People will follow their noses…. follow their hearts… follow suit…. and even follow in the footsteps of others. As much as I don’t like to… sometimes I have to follow orders.

Some people try to follow instructions…. like….

A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor puts her on a diet.

“I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you’ll have lost at least five pounds.”

When the blonde returns, she’s lost nearly 20 pounds.

“Why, that’s amazing!” the doctor says. “Did you follow my instructions?”

The blonde nods.

“I’ll tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day.”

“From hunger, you mean?” asked the doctor.

“No, from skipping.”

You can find following all over the place. In one of my favorite movies… they followed The Yellow Brick Road.

Some follow sports teams, soap operas, the stock market, religion, clues, or the dots….  A bunch of folks follow celebrities on Twitter.

Follow knows no barriers. Like the dogs chasing the rabbit.

There have been times when people have followed others in the wrong direction. They drink Kool-Aid… and hope to ride on comets… and such. My advice there… just be careful who you choose to follow. Following is not always the best thing to do.

Other times it is the only thing you can do.

Today, I read a good piece of advice. It said something along the lines of this…

Acquire piece of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable. Success will come, as will the self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to be the best you can be.

One thing just seems to follow another there. And that is how it goes.

Everywhere I go… my shadow follows. Maybe that’s why I sometimes feel like I am being followed.

OK…… The truth of the matter is… my “F “L” and “W” keys have been sticking on my computer… so I had to find a word that I could type a bunch… and try to get them unstuck.

So it was either that I wrote about “Follow” tonight… or “Flo Lewis”…. an old friend from grade school.

I don’t remember so much about Flo…. so the whole “follow” thing won out.  The keys are unstuck…. thank you very much.

At any rate, this is the third day of my diet… so I better get back to skipping….

Just following directions.
