Focus

This morning, while leaving the meeting, a friend came up alongside and spoke to me and I stumbled a bit.  He had disrupted my focus on walking.  A fact that I have been very aware of today is that, because of my disability, I need to focus on anything I say or do.  If I lose focus when I walk, I stumble, when I eat, I bite myself, when performing some detailed activity with my hands, I fumble, etc.  This fact of life is a mixed blessing, like many things in life.  It keeps me in the present, but can also be inconvenient, at times.
