I'm on the train on a weekend trip to Tokyo which I am determined to enjoy and not regret the past or worry about the future for at least these three days.
Anyway, I have new-to-me little suitcase that I bought at a carboot sale in the UK. It's perfect for weekend trips and fits in the plane as carry-on. It's a little wheely one.
It's a great size but it turns out that it only rolls well on smooth surfaces, as soon as things get a bit rough it goes all wobbly and falls over. I had to keep stopping to let it settle then carry on, and when I got to a really rough patch I had to carry the little suitcase til things got better.
I hope you can see where I'm going with this!
Lessons learned from my little suitcase:
1. We can all function well when the going is easy, but we have different levels of what is rough.
2. When things get rough it's very easy to let everything get unbalanced.
3. When things seem like they are becoming unbalanced, take a little rest, get yourself right, and carry on.
4. When things get really rough, it's ok to ask for someone to carry you through
5. Don't give up! Even when things are rough, and you need a carry, you're not useless! And things will get smooth again soon!
