are you still teachable?

​We all have things going on in our lives that seem to be going against us, rubbing us the wrong way. Sometimes its much more serious than others, but in any case, it still has something to teach us or it wouldn't be there. For example, take yesterday's snowstorm that raged all last night and into this morning. We thought we had made a good decision to hire people to take care of our driveway and steps to our doors, until we realized they didn't show up and sent us a note that we live too far out of town. Sadly, I had to break the shovels out at the last minute to shovel a path for my wife to leave for work and then spend a couple of hours doing some of the rest (still a couple hours left to go here at the lake house!). Now, this may seem insignificant to some, but that also meant no time for me to continue writing my next book, update web sites, post on social media, research on how to use the latest technology on my YouTube channel etc, etc. However, the snow and the sudden loss of our hired help has taught me patience. Patience and intention. I need to be just a little bit more patient and continue to drive my intention to spend the winter months in Panama. Next year!
