Trust Yourself

While having coffee with my friend awhile back, she inquired about my driving.  Or rather, my lack of it.  She point blanked me - what do you think it is? she wondered.  I wasn't exactly sure what to say.  I was having difficulty seeing with my one eye, but I knew it was more than that.  So I told her that I feel afraid.  Afraid that I won't be able to get home.  She simply said maybe you feel like you are unable to move forward in your life, and this is why you can't move forward in your car.  Hmmm.  I have thought about that conversation many times.  It made total sense to me.  It makes me cry to read this and also makes me laugh.  Funny how that works.

Well, that was months ago.  And my eye surgery seems to have gone well.  And I am driving.  Further.  Does this mean that my life is going forward too?  Sure does!  I know that it is.  Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.  Such great advice!

You keep swimming too!  And keep smiling!
