Once again!
It seems that when we are on a journey to achieve a goal, there is always something that seems to ( try) to trip us up. whether it be of the natural world , another human being,or a technical difficulty, distractions are just a normal part of life. For example, at the gym I go to, the older folks love to hang out and talk and possibly work out in between. It's cool to say "hello" and give a side hug or two , but when I am taken aside and given a punchbowl of gossip when i don't even want a sip...and need I mention the former inmates and their "yard" antics? I was growing disgusted, so I started going to the gym at different times to avoid it all, and didn't even get on the bus on the weekends. But I had some other things in my life going on and those same old folks that i was avoiding were the ones that held me when I cried. So I alternated my days and bought an mp3 player. Problem solved. I also don't always bring my phone with me, or just turn the ringer off until i get done. We can't allow the distraction to hinder us from the task at hand. All we can do is work thru it and not forget what's important:
ourselves
