It's taken me quite a few decades to find myself in a situation where I felt like riding a roller coaster (the amusement park variety, not the life's ups and downs variety--that's a given :-). Yesterday I sat in the pod of the car, clicked the body harness into place, and closed my eyes; that's the only way my vestibular system would tolerate this experience. Breathing was important, too--focusing on the moment and breathing deeply through each twist and turn proved pivotal to my maintaining my sanity. I kept telling myself that it would be over soon, and it was.
My legs were a tad wobbly while walking away from the ride, but I was proud of myself for going through with it. I don't think I'll need to ever do it again, but it was fun in a crazy sort of way, and I'm glad I did it. Somehow I managed to set my resistance to the idea aside, and just went with it. Maybe having interacted with the group of folks who are playing with my Resistance Toy material gave me the boost out of nowhere--it truly isn't something I ever thought I would do.
But then, life is full of surprises and shifts that we never thought would be possible.
Until they are.
