that curveball
as we all know, but as we all must be reminded, sometimes life throws us a curveball
my latest ball was hurled at me at 77 mph three days ago
a broken wrist and suddenly broken plans broken ways of doing things too
the first thing i said to my husband when he suggested going to the ER was "but i haven't brushed my teeth!"
because this is not the neat tidy way things should unfold, this was never on my schedule
until monday i was on a roll dancing, practicing qigong, and using my bosu ball daily, every day since january one, not now
and for months i've had a trip to missoula planned with my two lifelong besties for this upcoming weekend now they will laugh and talk into the night without me
life is not perfect life is not predictable we cannot control events we cannot grasp too tightly
curveballs catch us unaware we don't know where the pitch might land, so flexibility is crucial we must be ready to bat we must be ready to adapt
NOTE: "a typical curveball in the major collegiate level and above will average between 65 and 80 mph, with the average MLB curve at 77 mph" >> since 7 is my favorite number, i went with the average :) tweet
