Eating the Frog
Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring
except my wife who was reading to me
about the little things people do
which make her laugh
like hiding wrapping paper
in a garment bag,
or your printer in furniture
or empty cardboard rolls in a gift bag
so no one can see them.
I smile as I realize that I have never wanted
or cared about things like this that I consider
unimportant.
I have always believed in eating the frog first,
the task which I least want to do.
it is that thing which you have to do
but would rather not do
and so as a result it never gets done.
Today it was a conversation I did not want to have,
but when the opportunity presented itself
I ate the frog.
That desire to avoid those things I do not want to do
can be like invisible hands holding me back.
But when I let it go
and eat the frog,
I free myself to enjoy all the little things in life
and all the other things I want to do
but prevented myself from doing
because I had not yet
eaten the frog.
