My Grandson is Wise.

Recently, I have had mobility issues which necessitated the use of a cane. Although this kind of eliminates me from participation in the Paris Olympics, I have been attempting to go on walks with my family in very hilly country in central California. Falling behind or slowing up the other walkers discouraged me to the point that, on one walk, I decided not to attempt any of the future fun, group walks.
As I watched my grandson run way ahead with our little dog Sage happily chasing him, I thought , "Why bother? I am slowing everyone down and can't keep up." My grandson Jack came running back with the dog right behind him. Out of breath he said, "Hey, Papa! When I run with Dad and Sage, I can't talk. But when I walk with you, we can talk."
Things do change in our lives for many different reasons. Adjusting to the changes can keep life exciting in new and unexpected ways. Some changes are superficial and others, undeniably, are huge and permanent. My grandson's wisdom, without him knowing it, helped me shift my thinking and changed present circumstances.
Walking slowly isn't so bad when I get to talk with my Grandson.
