Momentum

So there's this story about this little girl who fashioned a small, white snowball at the top of a steep hill. The conditions were just right..STICKY! As it rolled down hill. the snowball gathered more and more snow to itself and it rolled at a faster and faster speed...The little girl's snowball became a force to be reckoned with. I'm not too sure what happened to the snowball,for all I know, it could be the size of Manhattan now,  and travelling at the speed of light. By small and simple things great things are brought to pass.

I lived in Africa for all my formative years, never seeing or experiencing snow. We moved to Canada in the winter. I dreamed of snowmen and snowball fights. My snowy naivety  knew no bounds. So, at  the first opportunity, I dashed out into the snow and grabbed a handful of snow. Pat,pat,pat....pat,pat,pat..( Roger was going to get a fat snowball in the pie-hole....he,he,he)...and... NOT A THING...Who knew? Powder snow? It doesn't make snowballs and snowmen...you can't stick it together - it is as it's name suggests, uncooperative, uncohesive and stubborn...BUT great for downhill ski-ing. I didn't realise then that I would have to wait till Spring for the snow to get wet enough for snowballs and snow forts.

So I have really enjoyed reading the posts of my fellow bloggers lately...one that has had me pondering all week was one called "How to harness the power of momentum" from a guest blogger over at Zen Habits.

I've been thinking about this concept, and it's HUGE, like the snowball now... I just need to slowly change the little things...and the big things will take care of themselves. So pardon me as I go off to make myself a tiny, tiny snowball of change...and watch out...it's gonna be HUUUUGE!
