I seem to put it all on my back, probably just as a mother would. Then for the first time when I couldn’t solve a problem I took a step back and said... "I’ve done all I can, and this will have to be good enough; I can do no more” and had peace then miraculously, at the same time there was a breakthrough for us both. The problem came into focus with the solution at hand. Geez... I wish I would have learned this lesson 6 months ago...Ohhhh. So, there were two lessons.
