Girl Person says we will figure this out. She says that sometimes problems come up in life and we have to make decisions.
This is Brickle. I’ve never been one to exert much energy. I conserve it. Like an LED lightbulb.
I guess you could say I’ve been preparing for this time in my life all of my life. I have to go slower now. I have to stop and smell the peanut butter and the roses. Ok. Just peanut butter.
I can’t move as fast as I used to. But the persons don’t mind. Fruitycake? He grumbles about it. But he doesn’t mind either.
I have been feeling pretty yucky lately. I’ve been having aches and pains. And my legs don’t work like they used to.
They don’t listen to me when I ask them to move. Sometimes they even give up and leave me stranded like Gilligan.
Girl Person says we will figure this out. She says that sometimes problems come up in life and we have to make decisions. We have to solve them.
We have to really do our research and we have get a plan. So today, that’s what we will be doing. Getting a plan to help me. Because even though it’s ok to be slow in speed, we have to beat these problems before they get too bad.
Yesterday, we had some hours to pass before we checked in to our next house rental. So the persons took us on a leisurely walk at a spring. It was very pretty.
But I remember the last time I was there with Digby before we started traveling. I was very fast in speed. Yet, I missed some views.
It was a different experience to walk slow with Girl Person and see things I missed.
It was nice to watch Fruitycake enjoy it too at his speed with joy.
We all have things we go slower at than others. Maybe we learn slower. Maybe we open up to others slower. Maybe we love slow. Maybe we just have gotten older and slow is our only speed.
But if everyone tried to get places at the same speed on the same road, there wouldn’t be enough room. So go slow if you need to. If you’re young, it’s also ok to go fast. In time, you’ll see the need to slow down.
Girl Person said let’s go slow. Slow together. She said this is the time to feel as good as I can to make the most of life!
She said to enjoy what I want to at the speed I want to. And that’s ok by me.
