A delightful game where everyone sits in a circle on the ground and has one person, the “fox”, tap them playfully on the head delineating which one of those unsuspecting people will be named the “goose”. Once goosed, the elected must jump up and tag the person who called them a goose before that person sits down in the “goosed’s” seat. Then the “goosed” person starts the process all over again.
Fun times! Being noncommittally mashed on the head, in assurance that you are not the dreaded goose, who will be called into action, whether they are ready or not. This game taught me that there will come a time when you will be selected to step up and take care of business. It would be to your advantage to be ready! But at the same time, if you miss your chance, you may get picked again….or maybe not…
A part of me cringes at the idea of waiting around to be picked to chase the fox around. Ms. Independent likes to think that I call the shots in my life and I pick and choose which battles to fight. However Ms. Independent also knows of a higher power that really runs things and that she is to be the humble servant and just be ready for when he calls. So keeping the higher power perspective in mind, I would recommend to all to be ready for when you are called to be the goose and keep the foxes away!

Finally... a game I can really relate to...
I have a duck duck goose work situation. I am the resource nurse for infection control. So when the IC nurse is out... I get "goosed." It's good to be taken out of my complacency sometimes... and it pays to stay prepared.
