The worst of it

I’m an optimist and don’t tend to think about the bad and the worst but today I was surfing 5-7 foot waves and 7-foot waves are pushing the limits of what I’m comfortable with so I tried to sit closer to the beach where the 5-foot waves would be but the problem is that sitting there I still had to deal with the 7-foot waves breaking and then coming towards me even if I wasn’t trying to surf them. Sometimes when you make a decision, you commit yourself to all of the items in the group. A bag of apples might have a bad one. A classroom of students might have some difficult students. Nothing wrong with making these types of choices, it’s just helpful to recognize when you are.
