I’m never sure. Never. But I learned several years ago during a time of real turmoil to turn to God (yeah, I actually look to the sky as sort of a ritual) and say, “I’ll take the LESSON.” By that I mean, what appears to be just another problem is always a lesson and an opportunity for spiritual growth. I surrender my ego and will. I just relax and ask for guidance. My life is a lot more balanced since that approach dawned on me.

You get it. I’m just writing to corroborate and agree with your experience and sound advice. Thank you, Nancy.
