Falling Down (literally)

Whoops!

Earlier today I took a little tumble, face first, on a set of exterior steps. Glasses flew off my face while my backpack swept over my head.

Essentially I looked :

a) Intoxicated
b) Like I had never seen/used a flight of stairs
c) Like someone who was using a wheelchair for the past 20 years and thought today, yes today, they would walk
d) All of the above, but mostly C

Needless to say what this fall really made me appreciate was not falling. On the average day I am grateful for not falling. Today, precisely because I had a fall, I was really, really grateful for (generally) not falling.

But it is all because of my fall that I gained this awareness. Thus on some level, probably the level past embarrassment, I am grateful for falling.
