Today’s inspiration is drawn from the act of Blundering.

Blunder (n/v): a careless mistake; to act or speak clumsily

Sometimes it happens. You put your foot in your mouth; you miss an important detail that derails your project, or your budget, or your opportunity to make a smooth first impression.
You then might spend the next few minutes, hours, days, berating yourself – how could I have been so careless! How did I not see that!!

And life goes on.

To blunder, to make mistakes, is how we learn. To glean a shard of feedback from these experiences, to take a moment of reflection to assess the situation, is what being human is all about.
