The Fawns
On Tuesday while I was driving home I saw a deer walk slowly across the road. I stopped just in time to watch its two little white-spotted fawns run across the road not far behind.
Another car was coming toward me. Its driver stopped, too.
And for that one brief moment, we both smiled at this aberration in our day. This speck of time carried with it a lightness. Made us forget instantly about whatever was troubling us at the time. This wildlife display would become a touchstone we could carry throughout our day.
The good news is that we can create these moments without having to wait for gun-shy wildlife to cross our paths or run into our car on the interstate. We can use humor as that touchstone. Not harsh humor, though. Just like the deer didn’t run into our cars. Instead, the deer walked slowly, purposefully, and meaningfully across the township road of our minds.
Humor that is mild, controlled and meaningful like this can be our touchstone, too.
“Get Your SHINE Together!” and get out on the road today!
