You spend your entire life in one stance
On one side
Knowing which way to go
Which way to turn.
Then
You go
And find yourself on the other side.
Learning how to adapt
And
Having to go in new directions.
It messes with your brain.
Going against what you know
What you’ve practiced
And knowing how to do something.
Then
Quickly changing to another way of doing something.
It’s important to note
That just when you adjust and feel comfortable
And understand that people can drive on the right side,
They can drive on the left side,
And it works either way,
Vacation ends
And you have to drive on the right side of the road again.
It’s a nice discovery
To know you can drive on either side
And still go forward.
Take care! Some like to race right down the middle.

I have often thought of how it would feel to suddenly be driving on the left hand side of the road instead of the right hand side. It would feel very strange indeed!

Fortunately I am not the one driving. I was worried when we returned that it would still mess with me. But we had a wonderful driver taking us to the airport. He reminded us to be cautious when we returned to driving in the states. Years ago on a return trip I did have a scary incident so I knew him to be right. I was sad that people were laughing thinking it was funny.

It certainly isn’t funny when there is almost a car accident. I would be very confused trying to drive in Europe.

I’m glad my husband was driving. He adapts so very well.

That’s great that he can adapt so easily. I wouldn’t be able to.

This is just how I’ve felt lately, conflicted. I guess that’s on the down side of it.

I think we roll through conflicted periods … the important piece of it all is to be to keep going. You can do it.

I’ve yet to travel on the other side, or the wrong side, which over here would be the right side, so best I stay on my side, which is the left side, or better still, I’ll stay in-side…..
