These are difficult times. – no doubt about it. But – I don’t know about you – my life has had a lot of difficulty. I haven’t always acted rationally in those times. I let my circumstances affect my behavior – so I was blameless. Except I wasn’t. Somehow, we mostly got past those bad times. In the end we usually learned from the hard times – we learned endurance. I’m learning to try to act more like how a hero would act in those times – even though I know I’m not a hero. I’m learning to just do what I know needs to be done and to trust the outcome. What else can we do? I’ve learned to put myself at risk.
