Zig, Zag, Zen-ball
©2013 Susan Noyes Anderson
Sometimes we zag instead of zig
or zig when we should zag.
We go small, meaning to go big;
slide home, but miss the bag.
It's hard to get your game on, right?...
when life throws inside curves.
But if you flinch instead of fight,
you'll lose the game to nerves.
Don't sweat each pitch that comes your way;
another's close behind.
We all take strikes, so save the day
by keeping that in mind.

So true!
Superb post as always - have a lovely weekend ahead!
nice...i agree...in the grand scheme each pitch does not make as much difference and others will be coming....until they are not of course...smiles.
Yes, life is full of difficult curves with steps!
I love the music of his nephew!
This is lovely. As usual. And it's inspiration came at a wonderful moment for me. Thank you.
Don't sweat each pitch or strike ... Such good advice!
This is a great Z post. Love it
Thanks Sue. I needed this today.
Sometimes I focus on the strikes, I'm afraid. It's good to remember that everyone does sometimes.
Very creative post for Z and great advice ^_^
Thanks for visiting ^_^
I have to remember that we 'all take strikes'. Sometimes I think that I'm the only one.
Excellent share! Since I L O V E baseball this was a perfect read for me! Made me smile B I G!

Hi This is brilliant please can i post on my facebook page with link to you ?
Good life lesson words, Sue.
This was a fantastic poem. I loved the thoughts and they so relate to our lives.
Hugs!
I hate it when I miss the home plate! :) love the poem.
Rightly so, Sue! One often gets distracted or gets cold feet doing many normal chores. The idea is to persevere and improvise. Things will fall into place! Nicely!

My zig and zag are quite often reversed.
Sad, but true.
But maybe that's a good thing.
Perhaps I am missing cosmic arrows even as I do this!
Another zest-filled post from you!
You are a wonder Miss Sue!
