As Woody Allen said, 80% of Success is Showing Up
Most evenings, weather permitting, Mary Esther and I go to the neighborhood playground and spend at least an hour there.
Usually, there would be maybe one or two other kid(s) there. It is a pretty quiet and very safe neighborhood. To our surprise, this evening there were a lot of people. They were getting set to do a parade. NOt knowing anything else, I encouraged Mary to join them.
It turned out, the other kids had decorated their bikes or scooters.
And, there was judging and prizes.
Mary got o prize, anyway. She showed up.
