timing isn't everything?

The infamous 'they' say that timing isn't everything.

I'd beg to differ.

Most of my life has been led according to timing. Whether it was a school schedule, practice schedule, work schedule, or some other kind of schedule, life is all about timing.

And if our timing is off, even by just a step or two, we are 'off' our timing and things do go awry.

Life is all about timing, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I'm just not sure what to do when the timing seems so far off that it's impossible to even see how to even try to get back to 'right' timing.

In my mind, the right timing would be in the springtime...maybe April for May type of thing, but certainly not October for November and the cold reality of winter!

I just don't know how to take the cues and not question the timing of it all.

The cues point one way, but the timing a completely opposite way.

Pushed and pulled...what else is new?

Usually, it is so much clearer though. When life gets out of sync and the timing isn't just right, it's not usually that much of an apparent gaping hole between steps.

Usually, it's waiting a beat, or picking up the speed a bit as one walks or jumps or dances around the issue that's thrown the timing off.

huh... I just realized something as I wrote that last sentence...

It's not that I'm off the beat! It's that I can't even feel the beat anymore.

Wow!

Even more difficult to figure out how to get back into sync!
