Decay

It's funny.

Sometimes we take for granted that we know something, know it cold- we're the experts. And then, something happens and we're asked to talk about it in a new way, in a manner we haven't done before, and all of a sudden it's not so clear, not so easy, and a little challenging.

We can all learn from little episodes like this. It helps us keep our ego in check (which is always a good thing) and it forces us to look anew at a topic or skill, which is always beneficial. You see things get dusty at a minimum and broken to the point of unusable at worst when they are left unattended. It's like that with most aspects around us - it's called decay, and don't for a second think that you, or I or the guy three seats over is immune to it. We're all part of the same world, and our skills, intelligences and expertise needs a good tweaking once in a while. For the proactive amongst us...what needs re-visiting for you ? There's a thought.

I know what I needed, and a few solid days have brought me back towards a degree of comfort. I'm not all the way there yet - I have to keep working at it - but that's the point then, isn't it ?
