Possibilities

These days we are all looking for signs.  I bought an RTD , ( industrial speak for "ready to drink")  when we were at Whole Foods Franklin manning a non-profit table for Modern Cooks.  It was a little challenging because while customers loved the idea of cooking, since we aren't currently running the program, it seemed much harder for them to relate.  And it was lunchtime, they were busy running to and fro.

Anyway, this RTD,  I think it was called Mate Magic, tasted like light lemonade.  And the cap had a message on the inside.  No, it is not your eyes, I will put these glasses on and read you what the message on the cap says:

Vision without action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare.

 (japanese proverb)

Don't know how often you read your horoscope/fortune cookie/ouji board and think "oh that could apply to me." This one? When I read this one I felt it was scripted exactly for ME.   I expected to look up and see everyone staring back at me (some pointing, some hands on hips), their expressions all saying "WELL, do you get it yet? Do you need a wake up call, or perhaps...a gong in your ear or something?"  

"No," I would say, "I'm not ready yet, I just figured out the floor sink problem and saved thousands of dollars because of it!" 

No, what I need is a funnel trap.  Like this!  These are not prototypes for deep sea diving, these allow you to wash vegetables in a sink without fear of the sewer backing up into it.  A big concern for the health department.  The only other 

way involves converting a floor drain into a floor sink, that is if you have a floor drain to begin with. And if you don't (which we don't) then it can really suck.  Like many thousand dollars suck.

Exciting subject.  It is important to not daydream too long, and to keep your eyes open and yourself in your shoes, but you also have to allow the vision to fully take shape, whether it is happening right now or not.  You have to see down the road a little bit more before you can shout and cheer and take action.
