Today I was going to various meetings and appointments by bus. This involved waiting, changing, map reading....various challenges for a woman with the merest modicum of spatial awareness. The number of times I set off "just knowing" I was going in the right direction only to find, after ten minutes, that I was quite wrong would be embarrassing to admit. The whole thing could have been a great pressure.
Today, though one of the meetings I had planned just did not happen. That left an hour of extra time. A breathing space. The result....very little stress on my part. I could even regard the waiting as a chance to meditate, as inconspicuously as possible. I think I might budget in an "invisible meeting" most days. Just to help me stay sane.
