Day 241

It's Day 241 of The Red Shoe Project and once again I can be found walking about town in my RED footwear.  You are never going to believe this, but it's absolutely true.  Just the other day, I was driving home from church and this HUGE thing was in the middle of the road.  It had to be 18" in diameter.  

It was a Turtle!

I don't think I've ever seen a turtle crossing the road -- not ever -- not here in Florida, not up north, not anywhere!  And there I was just north of Bee Ridge on Honore Avenue, slowing down to a near crawl, just to check him out.  He was moving sooooo  S - L - O - W - L - Y. 

Come on!  Really?  Didn't that prophetess just tell me that I was like a turtle going down the road ever so slowly?  (See Day 217).  She also told me that the point of it all was so that I wouldn't miss the important things God wanted me to see.

What are you trying 

to tell me, Lord?

I can't believe it's Day 241 and I'm just now starting to "get it!"  

I'm still wired for my old way of living:  Moving and shaking -- Driving in the fast lane -- Meeting the deadline -- and Performing to the Nth degree.  Even though my pace, in these RED shoes of mine,  has been significantly reduced to almost a crawl... I've discovered that...

 I'm not  always living 

fully in the moment.  

That business mind of mine is always thinking about the future --How I can I produce something --  How I can I create something that I can package and present to people.   I guess I'm just wired that way!  

But God is re-wiring me!  I think today He just pulled out all the wires and decided to start over.  LOL.  The big question is this... What will I be like tomorrow?  Will I wake up and set out for my morning walk with Pauly equipped with a new mindset?

I believe it's time to have a little fun on this Yellow Brick Road:   to smile more -- to stop and smell the roses -- to laugh,  to dance,  to twirl,  to sing,  to enjoy!

So you know that God always gives me a song!

Here's my new theme song as I go into this last portion of the year,

in Red Shoes!

Simon and Garfunkle's 

"Feelin' Groovy"

Prepping my Ruby Reds for tomorrow.
