This part was especially golden for me. Any time a problem arises, I want to fix it
right now and put it behind me. And yes, in my rush to return to the desirable state of "no problems", I DO miss the point, I DO miss the lesson, and I
most certainly miss the gift!
We've all heard a zillion times how a problem is really just an opportunity to learn and grow. Have you guys been able to take this to heart? I know I sure haven't--I give that idea lip service and no more...
These daily postings have just been amazingly on point for me lately--or else I just have so much work to do that it doesn't matter
what the reading is,
it applies!
Thanks to everybody who's walking this path with me.
