Chasing Rabbits

In some motivational book there was a truism of you can only chase 1 rabbit at a time.
Despite what time managers tell you to the contrary (that you can do multiple projects if you live by a daily schedule to switch hats), you can't chase more than 1 rabbit at a time. Chasing 1 rabbit can seem a bit impossible.

I caught the rabbit today. Literally. It wasn't with sheer force or speed. I pinned him for about 2 seconds. He squealed/screamed- it was freaky. He got away. Exhaustion got the most of his little bunny lungs, and he allowed me to approach him. Pet him. Place both hands on him, the left him up. Then he tried to scratch my hands to shreds with his blast rabbits feet.

In a luck of pursuit, I wore baseball batters gloves. I felt the rabbit's nails, but the rabbit didn't shred the glove. My skin was safe.

So the rabbit is awaiting return to his owners in a childrens hotel.

Alright. Sleep sleep.
I caught a rabbit by focusing solely on that rabbit.
Literally. Now to catch the figurative rabbits.
