My hubby recently earned himself a speeding ticket. While admitting that he was exceeding the speed limit by a considerable amount, he still was indignant. His comment was that he was simply keeping up with other traffic. Once I was finished giving him some good-natured harassment about the ticket, I started to think about the trouble one can find simply by matching your speed - of anything - to others. I may have the best intentions to know my activity limits and keep within them. When I am alone, it's pretty easy to stay within those speed limits. But when I join a group of friends or family, those intentions get forgotten quickly. I get caught up in the activity levels of others, and in the enjoyment of time spent with others doing fun things, before long I inevitably have passed by my energy limits. The crash and burn that follows is not fun. I wish I had a cruise control that I could set for myself. |
