Keep Moving

Sometime during mud season ... I mean, spring ... we took a walk out at the farm to see the calves. As we ventured through a particularly muddy section of the woods my cousin said "I don't know where to put my foot so my boot won't sink down". My mom's reply was "Just keep moving, because if you stand still for to long you'll sink down for sure." 

Sometimes, you just have to keep moving forward.

You may not know the exact right path. You may not have all the answers. You may even misstep and have to backtrack or correct. But I promise you, if you stand still for to long, you'll sink down in the mud ... And having a boot stuck makes it a whole lot harder to move forward 

Today, we had back to school convocation. We sat differently than we ever had. We wore masks. Our conversations were new and focused on issues we wouldn't have anticipated even last fall. 

We took the best information we have and made the best plans we can. And, though the best laid plans are always subject to change, I am so thankful to be in a place where the people are willing to do their best to always move forward in the best direction we have to go.
