Stumbles

     As we make our way along life's path, we can lose our footing and take a fall.  The path may have an impediment, an unexpected spot, a slippery surface, or our unpreparedness or inattention may cause us to trip.  Perhaps the stumble could have been prevented; perhaps, not.
     What we do afterward is more important.  Becoming more familiar with what lies ahead, plus being prepared and alert may lower our chances for another fall.  Some people will seek out an easier path, but that may not provide the challenges to develop our skills.  When we learn to navigate the more complex path, we become stronger.  We can also use our experience to help others move forward.
