Thank you, Anaya
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing.
I also look at challenges as learning experiences and occasions for growth.
I have to fight the temptation to triangulate others to my viewpoint in a stressful situation I am dealing with. That is not being a friend to them, and they can't do anything to fix the situation anyway.
If we meet later, far away from the situation, to swap "war stories," that is a different matter. Those times can be helpful to find out that we weren't the only ones.
