I believe I am a better person for some of this experience. Certainly less assuming, more careful to think through all types of scenarios, in all areas of life, that I may never have considered before.<BR/><BR/>What I have issue with is the people who say 'everything happens for a reason', usually accompanied by a huge grin and a happy ending. Why do we still have to learn then? Surely when you 'get it' you should be allowed to progress. To be repeatedly taught the same lesson again and again, as you know all too well, seems to me more than unfair, just cruel.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Thank you so much for checking in on me, how thoughtful. I'm doing ok. Really quite ok to be honest. Just a little weary and quiet.
