2024-09-16 “Getting Things Moving” by Hannah

Here I am in a boring “at work” picture, but I want to share an idea with you. Bear with me.

Isaac Newton says that an object in motion will continue in motion unless acted on by an outside force. Once it’s moving, it will keep going unless something comes along to change its direction.

Now, to get an object moving in the first place, there needs to be a force of some sort.

I need to get Emma and Devon moving towards each other. Once they start moving then I believe they will begin to be drawn to each other. Emotional gravity, if you will.

Consider that they are orbiting each other, but not getting closer. Well, a nudge in the right direction will allow gravity to take over. They’ll be drawn closer and closer, once I can get them moving. As I see it, they are already being affected by each other’s attraction, but aren’t getting closer very quickly.

Sparing you the math, all I need to do is get them to slow down a bit and the attraction will kick in. 

How do I do that? Well, I think that if I talk to Emma and call attention to the good things about Devon, she’ll be receptive to my thoughts. That could be just enough of a nudge to get her to respond to his attention such that he sees her as more approachable.

Devon is handsome. He’s a good listener. He’s come through hard times and is still standing on his own two feet. He’s smart enough to accept help where needed, and ambitious enough to be looking to the future. He has a great sense of humor. He respects Emma… and me, too, for that matter. He appreciates us and lets us tell him about our days.

I could go on…

I just need to get Emma to think about this and then, next time he does something sweet and thoughtful, she might respond with a cute smile and flutter those beautiful eyes just right; just in a way to encourage him to feel welcomed closer to her.

I think if I do this, I can help them both find more happiness. And when they get together, it will remove some of the uncertainties that surround our current social situations.

I really want them to be happy!
