Maggie's Day 323 of Discovering Love in Replacing Eleven Pipers Piping on the Eleventh Day of Christmas

At a few minutes past eight this morning as I was waiting for a meeting to begin I thought to myself, “Wow, gotta find Eleven Pipers Piping today. Where?”

The meeting began. The mission was forgotten.

So, here I am on the Eleventh Day of Christmas with the clock ticking away and I have no Pipers Piping. Now what?

The same soft and freeing Jazz CD that I spoke of yesterday is playing from the music box just to the right of me. It sits on the floor just under a buffet in my dining room. Unfortunately that peaceful music has not beckoned any pipers. The only pipes I have carry gas and water to the house and refuse from it.

I think the closest I can make it in this recession Twelve Days of Christmas is Ten Feet a Drawn as opposed to the historical Eleven Pipers Piping.



My homework assignment this week was to draw five hands and five feet. My classmate Kristen was busy at work when I flashed this photo. Her five feet combined with the five I drew add up to ten. I guess for good measure I could add my right foot. That would give me eleven feet.

Now how to deal with the Piping part. They weren’t hot, rather flat I may add except of course for the one at the end of my foot.

Okay, I’ve got it. How about eleven feet articulated? Now that’s what I call a recession result. It’s there. It will do.

I suppose that’s what I’ve learned as a result of my experience in the Pace Corps coupled with these tough economic times. Times are as good as we allow them to be. I found a way to get Eleven Pipers Piping today on the fly. But it works for me. So many things do these days.

I suppose it all has to do with letting go of the outcome and just receiving the gift. How sweet and pleasant life truly is when I remember to do just that.

Sweet Dreams to you and all those who pipe in your presence! Maggie ã
