At Kokomo’s Jackson Morrow Park, Marylu and I were hiking. We like to walk several times a week, and a walk in the woods can add an pleasant environment. I decided to take a short cut near the creek…I thought the ground was solid, but I immediately sunk in mud up to my thigh! And I wasn’t dressed for a rigorous hike -- had on a pair of new dress pants.
Somehow, Marylu got the stains out.
My experience illustrates what happens so often in life: we are taken by surprise with trouble or messy situations. Sometimes it is caused by our own stupidity, as in my situation. Sometimes we are simply passive victims.
