I think finding opportunity in difficulty is a bit like a journey. And we're sure to get lots of practice along life's journey. :-) Anthony is indeed an inspiration. He's blooming where he was planted, isn't he? I can picture each of us here, blooming in our own way, each where we are planted. What fun! Hi, Cee So good to see you again!

Anthony is indeed an inspiration. He’s blooming where he was planted, isn’t he? I can picture each of us here, blooming in our own way, each where we are planted. What fun!

ONLY recently have I been aware that my view point affects how I feel about situations in my life. It seems Anthony just loved what he was doing and let it bloom from there. Cee Dar,

I see what you're saying. When you've made a decision to stay in a job you dislike, it becomes even more important to make sure you're doing something you truly enjoy -- on your time off -- whether or not it pays. Do you have something you can look forward to, that motivates you to get through the day/week/month? If not, it would make a wonderful gift to give yourself! Nice to meet you, Tammy. :-) Hi, Tammy :-)

The problem is that my main job that I hate is the one that provides me with pension at retirement. It's a government job. If I leave it, I lose my pension. My pension doesn't transfer to the private industry.

Her cake sounds scrumptious! (Is there a piece left? An expresso infusion sounds really great, LOL.) Your 13-y-o daughter is a masterpiece in the making. What a wonderful memory you'll both have, as well. :-) Hi, Cee! :-) Yum! Her cake sounds scrumptious! (Is there a piece left? An expresso infusion sounds really great, LOL.)

I must share that my 13 y.o. daughter made an "Expresso infused chocolate flourless cake" for her 16 y.o. cousin's birthday this past weekend all on her own. It was a recipe even I, an avid baker, would break a sweat to try. I was only floating around the kitchen for her to ask advice, if she needed it. She did it all by herself. I only drove her to her cousin's to help in the delivery of her masterpiece. It's such a joy to see our kids blossom in life and find their passions. What a FABulous article!

Very insightful! I love, too, that you see a clear vision to achieving even more freedom for yourself. Ah, the sounds of freedom... Letting go of the rest can be one of the biggest challenges (I confess, it's a lesson I'm still learning.) You bring encouragement to all who visit here. Keep up the great work you're doing, Carolann! :-) Hi, Carolann! :-) I love that you’ve identified freedom as one of your values. Very insightful!

Freedom is one of my greatest values, and it's interesting to realize that there's still a lot more freedom I can create for myself by focusing on the things that mean the most to me or are most fun and letting go of the rest. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope you're having fun with your soaps! Hi Dar,

I wonder how many friends and family members tried to discourage Barney's creator. And how many said, "Go for it!" Hmmm... would make a great research project, wouldn't it? lol Sharon, you're always a breath of fresh air (and I appreciate you!) Hi, Sharon So good to see you again! :-)
