11/03/06 TwinkleGram from Charlene Today's TwinkleGram Story The last TwinkleGram I talked about slowing down. Funny I should follow that with a trip to the Woolly Worm Festival (aka caterpillars) in Beattyville, Kentucky. Funnier yet that the Woolly Worms, not known for their speed, are the obvious highlight of the festival, and they actually RACE! (You've heard of the hair vs. the tortoise, well this is the Woolly Worm vs. the Woolly Worm, neither leaving a blaze of smoke in their wormy wake.) I Ever feel that way? Like you're ready to go-go-go but somebody, some thing, holds you back-back-back? Worse yet (or is it?), have you ever gone-gone-gone only to find out you should have waited--or not gone at all? In the case of this particular Woolly Worm and this particular race, I overheard (couldn't help myself) interesting comments afterwards from Woolly's scissorhands owner. It went something like this. "I had to move him back so many times he was worn out by the time the race began." (In case you missed the hint, her Woolly didn't win.) I sympathized because I'd heard the emcee say, time and again, "We'll be starting in a moment, so get your Woolly Worm on the string!" I'm not sure what the moral of this story is, but I do know this: you can't finish if you're not ready to GO. My question to you is, are you getting ready? Are you honoring the "thing" (goal, dream, vision) that whispers inside you, Do it! Stop reading this moment. Evaluate your life, your goals, your progress--or lack thereof--toward the race you'd like to run. The trip you'd like to take. The new endeavor you'd like to try. Then get yourself in the starting block and be ready to GO! Then again, maybe you're already hearing the starting bell, so get to movin'. Even Woolly Worms run the course.

f you'll look at the picture you'll note that the Woolly is READY to race and is therefore attempting to make it's way over the scissored obstacle. But not for long because alas, those scissored fingers will quickly turn into the jaws of life and put Woolly back in the starting block. No, Woolly, it is not time to GO!
