Falls and Lessons

Whether it's a physical fall with resulting pain or
an emotional mishap, there is learning that can take place.
Each experience here on earth is for our benefit
IF we don't reject it, but look for the INSIGHTS that can come.

I had to chuckle as my 92 year old aunt told me of her
tumble with a shopping cart in Walmart last week.
Being more than 20 years younger I could still relate
to the shock of normal activities like walking being dangerous.

The need to slow down, move more carefully and
consider my behavior BEFORE I speak or act is being
reinforced in my life. Perhaps too forcefully but I'm
listening and open to improving along with a few bruises.

I'm feeling much BETTER and even went shopping yesterday.
My ankle isn't sore just my right thumb, so I'm teaching
my left thumb to hit the space bar-a unique experience.
I'm committing to SLOWING DOWN and enjoying each day more.
