Adjustment

In Sweden one must be careful walking on the wet roads that glisten with ever-shining lights of the vehicles. Day and night the lights of all automobiles are on.

On a clean slippery road
I jerked and lost balance
On ice I nearly fell down
From the desert to the snow
There is a need for adjustment
Like cars fitted with winter tyres
I need myself fitted with new feet
Not those I had used in the desert
But flat ones for a safe walk on ice

Boy, Abdi-noor, talk about culture shock! WHEE!! Just be careful, don't need you busting something!

Reminds me of the time two years ago: was walking on ice on my crutches--had gone out to eat, made it all the way to the restaurant and back, was just about at our apartments, when *BOOM* One minute I was up, walking; the next, flat on my back, like a turtle, feet and crutches pointing at the sky. WHA' HAPPEN???? I fall down! LOL Wasn't hurt, but was stiff for a day or two. *OW* LOL

Wow Abdinoor! Welcome to the world of snow where we walk on ice in contrast to our country where only the wealthy consume ice cold beaverages. We'll talk brother.

Welcome to my part of the woods, last time we talked I could had warned you of the whimsical and capricious Scandinavian weather, now you now, like in politics, here, walking is done very carefully.
It is not a walk on the dunes, but then, eagles do fly, don't they?

I can truly appreciate this. I live in New Mexico [Albuquerque] and we don't get much snow. Yet, when I go up north, I have to remember to take my hiking boots or else I end up as part of the landscape.

God bless you. Kathy

The transition that we sometimes forget about soon reminds us all, so nicely written....

Be careful, Abdi-Noor, you are in my prayers for safety! And rest assured: hard for ANYONE to walk on ice. Especially if one's on a cane or crutches (like me and Karen).

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Yes, big difference. But take heart, nobody can walk on ice.

There is a need for adjustment

Quite an adjustment, I'd say - Be Careful Out There!
