Life Pitches
A fast ball
I learn to hit it
A curve ball
I struggle but do OK
A slider
Knocks me down
I get up
It's hard to get up
I need more fast balls
A few curves
And less sliders
Each of us has difficult times. Some are easier to cope with than others. Some of us can't hit fast balls; some can't hit curve balls. For me it's a slider.
What makes for a slider? Sometimes it's multiple losses in succession or totally unexpected calamities that try my usual coping skills. They knock me down but in time I get up again and bat. It's no fun lying on the ground.
