If you have an example from personal experience, please share! Like the above quote there are times I am forced to slow down. Perhaps this is one of those times. What has stopped my in the past? 1. Breaking my right arm when I was in high school was perfectly timed. I didn't plan it. Just vaulted over the side horse wrists banging against the mat. It got my out of swimming class.  I still dislike going into the water and I still don't swim. And ... I'm left-handed so it didn't interfere with other pursuits.2. Losing everything ... I rarely think about that. But ... I was in a rut and losing everything meant I had to start over again. It was tough, but a weight was lifted and I felt happier. 3. This planned trip to Spain/Morocco/Portugal (March 3rd - May 5th). Yes, I wasn't happy but if I had gone? I may be writing you from who-knows-where stuck on the wrong side of a border. The coronavirus is eating away at Spain. 4. I got my appendix removed at the same time I was closing on my house. No complications. I couldn't lift anything and I had to be super careful driving but it gave me time to stay there and plan. And for that I was grateful. 5. My car accident in '88. My beautiful Mazda totaled. Me not knowing where I was nor why. But afterwards I was able to learn Spanish in ways I couldn't before. There are many other instances I'm sure. Not all roads are ours to travel and others lead to difficulties we learn to overcome. 1.677 |
