We are more than halfway through this 26-week WORKshop. No, that’s not a typo! It has been WORK.

In the beginning weeks, I doubted that I would ever be able to find the time to do all of the daily exercises (I am retired by the way!}. Are these people crazy? They keep adding on and adding on more and more for us to do. I got behind and it was not fun for me.

We didn’t know back then what a solid foundation was being laid for us. A strategic process, layer upon layer connecting and associating pictures, shapes, colors, sound, touch, oh and humor!

I didn’t see it at first but every week in our workshop instructions of what to do after the workshop, it says; “#5. Keep doing the work and smile :).”

Somewhere around week 9 or 10, I finally got caught up with all of the work and I began to calm down, become more serene and I was able to get through my daily and weekly assignments in peace and also with a smile!

Now, I look forward to each day knowing that I can “DO IT NOW”! There is also great comfort knowing that I am “Natures Greatest Miracle.” That since the beginning of time and into all of eternity there will be no one just like me.

My Mother would tell me that, “they broke the mold when they made you!” I was one of the lucky ones because I knew that it was a loving term of endearment and that she really meant it.

“I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise.”

Og Mandino, The World Greatest Salesman, Chapter 11, The Scroll Marked IV, p 71/72.

Finally realizing that I am Natures Greatest Miracle, makes me smile!

I can be what I will to be!
