In the past six years I have been learning new software, my body functions the same, it just responds differently.
My arms move, my mouth speaks, my brain thinks yet they are doing things completely in a new way.
It is like waking up one day and your body refuses to do what it used to do; the inner driving force has switched gears completely, it is all backwards.
This new software has me moving in the opposite direction of my old flying formation, I go right and others move left, I go up and the others go down, I feel totally out of zinc.
I am the lady in a country line dancing row… three steps off.
It seems I didn’t have a slow software exchange, but one day a whole complete system was inside of me.
Like a new me hopped inside and began living my life while still in my old life.
I have to give credit to my husband and children for being able to bring this new me into their old lives, to welcome and get used to her new ways.
As we go forth there will still be more steps I will take that will be out of rhythm with theirs, and we falter and then get used to this unique dance of ours. Me going one way and them going another in harmony.
We are dancing to the same song but moving with our own rhythm.
I often feel like the odd duck, but oddly a very free duck. I fly in my own formation.
