I kept thinking about that Monopoly expression when I was running today. These days I feel like I’m trapped in a game of Monopoly, constantly making my way around the board, one loop after another.
Pay the bills. Get paid. Taxes are due. Find some unexpected cash. Go to work. Make dinner. Rest and repeat … the same motions, day in and day out. What’s next? Win the lottery. Declare bankruptcy. Hopefully not go to jail; but hey, the year’s still young.
I’ve been struggling with the idea of the present because I can’t see my future. Instead of running a point-to-point race, I’m running a loop. Round and round the Monopoly board until … what?
I have no answers and I don’t expect a groundbreaking epiphany. It was just something that kept repeating in my head as I ran today.
