The lyrics to that song came to mind the other day when I was sitting on a bench waiting for my husband to retrive me from the local grocery store. I had already done the horrible job of buying groceries and had settled on the bench by the door, took out my knitting and was enjoying the time I had to add a few more rows to my sock. As you may, or may not know, I ALWAYS have a project bag with a sock in progress with me. Anyway, back on track. I happened to look up to take stock of my surroundings. As I did, I noticed all the signs the store had posted all around, some printed, some handwritten. As the song goes, "do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign".....I was amazed at how we as a society depend on all those signs.
The one that I found most astounding was the sign that had been carefully handwritten and placed directly on the top of the ATM machine reading, "Please don't forget to take your money". hmmmm......the sole purpose for going to the ATM machine is to obtain money. Have we become so hurried that we need all these signs to remind us? Perhaps it's time to step back, slow down and learn to enjoy the simple things.
How about a wonderful sunrise with the sun turning the top of trees golden, or the simple task of collecting eggs in the late afternoon sun.
