...maybe it shouldn't surprise
Today I met up with a colleague who'd called me a few times but hadn't been able to meet me until today. Over the phone I'd had trouble understanding why she acted in a very particular way. Then, today, she explained. She has some challenges - physical and medical - and they affect her ability to do some things. But they clearly don't affect her mental powers at all; in fact, I rather think they enhance them.
She explained with a smile: "if I find something that challenges me, I sit and find a way of dealing with it". And that's why she seemed particular - she knows from her experience that some things just don't work for her - and that the way she asks for something is the way she knows she can be effective.
And what really impressed me was her strength and determination. I really like and admire that. The clarity of her vision is an inspiration.
