When you were a toddler, it was Afton you put on a pedestal. Maybe you wanted to do all the things she did. You lived to please her. I remember when we lived in tiny Sheridan, CO., and I would take both of you on walks around the neighborhood after dinner. She was competitive and always wanted to be out front, the indisputable leader. But there are trade offs in life. You must have signed a non-compete clause, letting her have her way without a quibble, and you learned to take your time, smell the roses, look at the pebbles or cracks in the sidewalk, and check out the bugs as we went our way. "Enjoy the journey"-your motto, long before it became popular.
