A Secret Klutz? Or not...

Some people are just prone to klutz attacks. It's not a bad thing, as long as they don't hurt themselves. Sometimes it can be fairly funny. For instance, my sister and I always joke that when she falls in love it's going to be a regular rom-com with the coffee spills and other crazy heroine tripping attacks.

I've never really fallen into the klutz zone. I'm really good at catching myself if I trip, and spilling stuff just about never happens.

Well, until this year. Now my number of scars has gone up to 5 (from 2 previous to this summer) and there was a really spectacular incident with a cup of tea the other day that should have been caught on film and sent in to "America's Funniest Home Videos."

So anyhow, I'm now really mystified as to what caused this change. Did I get dropped into "The Princess Diaries"? Are 22 years of suppressed hurts coming out? Have I always been this klutzy, I just kept away from dangerous things?

Actually I suspect it's really just that I'm tired all the time and lack of concentration causes issues like that. Hopefully that'll get better after my surgery in November because today's incident was way too close to leaving me toeless.

But, you know, I wouldn't turn my nose up at the "Princess Diaries" option either.

You know, if you are suddenly klutzy, especially if you've never been like that before, there could be something spiritually related going on, although that isn't necessarily the case.

Hmmm, like what specifically do you mean?

Okay, I apologize. I didn't think my comment through before publishing. Perpetual klutziness, especially if it stretches on beyond the typical teenage years, can be -- can, not always is -- a sign of some deeper issue. My parents are part of the Healing Rooms, so I've heard of such things before. I can't remember exactly *what* it might mean though. I'll ask them as soon as I'm able. I'm sure there are books on healing that can shed light on why such a thing would happen. Anything that manifests in the physical is directly linked to the spiritual, whether it's good or bad.

But, as you said, you've been feeling unwell recently, and you're tired. That just as likely a reason as to why you're going through a "Princess Diaries" stage (I like that term, btw).
