One Step Cats

I did not know what He meant when He would say one step forward, two steps back. It seemed kind of funny to me. Was He talking about how to dance? She tried to help me understand. When you have a goal, or a project, you would like it to go forward. Step, step , step. Life isn't like that, Cofs, She said. When you get the idea, that's a step forward. When others don't understand, that's two steps back.  Then you go three steps forward and find out you need more money. That's two steps back. Little by little you make some progress. Sometimes you are almost there, and you find out someone didn't do what he said, and you go back a few steps. By the time She got finished explaining all this, I wondered how anything ever got done.  She told me not everything is like that, though. Sometimes you don't start working on your idea until everything is lined up.  We have to remember that He doesn't do it that way. His best thing is getting ideas. The rest is one step forward, two steps back.
I get it now. That's how it is working with Kate and me. She and I can lie around and relax, then one of us charges at the other. Well, the yowing has stopped - that's a step forward.  I still don't want to come out of the bedroom when Kate is there. That's two steps back. Every day She tells me let's be patient. It all works out fine in the end. I hope She is right. Chow, bellas.
