Day 3 - 246 -- Resilience and Strengh

Keeping in the theme of journeys as a metaphor for life today. I've been thinking of how we come to know our limits.  Often this discovery appears through reflection after the fact. Things we thought were impossible for us to do show us how much more capable we are -- we generally underestimate ourselves.

These thoughts reminded me of a young woman who flew to Botswana to begin a six-month development studies internship. Off she flew. When she arrived no one had met the plane, So, she found a way into the town not knowing any of the setswana language. I was amazed -- but not surprised -- at her resourcefulness. She said to me, "what else could I do?" At that moment the mentor (me) became the mentee <smile>.

Another silly song came to mind about journeys and destinations. It is by a great band from the '70s with a long string of hits in that decade. This was one of them. Enjoy!
