Sign posted on the general entrance to the college where I work, I noticed this morning as I was entering the building: CAUTION, watch for falling snow and ice.
I thought to myself, yeah but what about the falling snow and ice of life. Where’s the caution sign for that.
The falling snow and ice of life. It’s the sleep you didn’t get. The fight with your child over adult things. The everyday routine chores you can’t find the time for. The relationships that fizzle and fall by the wayside. The dent in your side mirror because someone else, in a worse hurry than you, decided not to bother to shoulder check and changed lanes right into you.
These things are inevitable. Just as falling snow and ice is, apparently. At least with falling snow and ice you can look up, prepare yourself.
The falling snow and ice of life hits you out of nowhere, there’s not even a caution sign posted anywhere.
Personally, I can’t wait for summer.
