Life said, "Alright Leslie, what are you going to do with THIS…”
Laws were suspended on my behalf, working for everyone but me.
List of setbacks
"Keep teaching, you do not make them true or false by how well you’re living them."
"In times of change, the learners will inherit the earth while the learned find themselves … to a world that no longer exists." Eric Hoffer
The only constant we can depend on is there will be change.
Failure is not an option, so that only leaves blame.

Failed 4 times:
- to keep her safe
- heimlich
- hit head
- didn’t plug nose
No time to bemoan mistakes
Shallow lesson - watch kids better around water
Deeper lesson - life is fragile. Family more tender with one another
Life lesson - delivered straight from God to teach me what I had been looking for: Failure is feedback.
Cut your losses, keep moving
Bemoaning mistakes. No time for that.

Our setbacks can bring out our hidden talents and gifts
What’s your handicap? What’s your weakness?
When life throws you something traumatic, you’ll discover new things about your capacity and potential. None are pointless.
It has a purpose. Look for the blessing it contains because it’s there.
