My body is like a very disobedient
toddler. My mind is like an impatient mother, wanting her unruly child to do
what she says. Tonight my dad asked me to set the table for dinner. My mind
knows where each person sits. I give myself the order to make plates go to each
person. I plan to carry out the order from dad. However, my feeble body balks
at this order. It wants to put all the plates on one end of the table and the
cups on the other end. I end up looking like an idiot who can’t understand the
concept that everyone is supposed to get their own place setting. I want my
body disciplined to follow the rules. How do I get my body to cooperate? This
is my biggest struggle.
