Snooze Button

 Do you ever find yourself hitting the snooze button when you are told to wake up?  “Wake UP” and change your life!  The snooze button says, “You are right, but not just yet.”  My thought of becoming a priest went on for some years.  I did not simply say no.  And then forget about it.  I hit the snooze button.  It puts off waking up to a new way of life.  I am the sort of person for whom big changes in life are usually preceded by the snooze button.  Some days I just force myself to show up at something, a meeting, an event, because I know that I want to press the snooze button, which will only prolong mediocrity.  I am not so much a good person as I am someone who fears the slippery slope of mediocrity.
