step, step.........

When you see "step" what do you think of?  The flight of steps in front of you?  The steps to actually finish the project you have started?  The things you need to do?  The steps to learn a new ________? Or, maybe, like me you are watching where you put your feet because carpet can trip you?

I've recently been learning new exercises, following step by step, to get stronger.  I've also been trying some new patterns in knitting which require, at least the first few times, following the directions.  Then there is the decision for which step to change or eliminate.....

OR..... with the snow, and sometimes ice, there is the fun of walking - anywhere.  My family tends to point out "steps" - like carpet and uneven surfaces - because I can trip over carpet!  It can be very helpful because I may, or may not, have seen it.  Our trip to the United Kingdom almost two years ago, started with both sisters saying "step."  By the time we got to the airport our two friends were also pointing out any steps.  By the second day of the tour everyone on the bus (all 28!) were pointing out steps.  I did point out that one or two would be enough!!  The memory is fun, and still able to laugh...... because otherwise you will start screaming!
