Flight plan

Norm Bleichman

On a recent airline flight, I was reminded of how familiar the pilot’s opening routine is. His announcement tells us what to expect during the trip that day. Time of departure, weather conditions and how they’ll affect the flight, estimated arrival—basically what the next several hours are going to be like.

Quite innocently, I’ve awakened some mornings and gotten a similar status report from my body. Something like:

Good morning, this is your body speaking. We’ll be a little slow getting up this morning. Experiencing some restricted movement due to overexertion yesterday. Looks like there are still some unsettled conditions in the atmosphere, so expect some turbulence at work today. Other than that, have a pleasant trip.
