       Just sitting here chatting with the screensaver on the TV and spouse looks over and says,“Damn, the atmosphere is thin!”Son (aerospace engineer) pipes up,“Space is closer than New York City.”We live in Connecticut. I’m never going to stop thinking about this. May never sleep again. 😳

       A few years  ago I took an adult ballet class. The class was hard. Exhausting. I was terrible. Really really bad. I never got much better. And it made me angry. Then I realized how rare it was that I’m bad at *anything*. Not because I’m universally fabulous, but because I’m old enough I rarely do anything new. All the stuff I’m bad at has been weeded out. I like having expertise and skill, it’s satisfying and comfortable. But ballet taught me how valuable being terrible at something can be. Renewed empathy for those struggling. Humility. Accepting limitations. Knowing when to quit. Patience. Persistence. All the things it’s easy to forget when you spend all your time being competent. So go try something new. You can only gain from it.
