One of the strongest examples in my own life is my divorce. It will forever be one of the great sadnesses of my life - and also one of the greatest blessings. Because of the break up of my marriage I found my life's work and purpose. I have become a woman I could not have become within that relationship. God has used loss, sadness, anger, and disappointment to grow me and my children in so many ways. I wish it had been different, AND I am grateful. Things are not always either/or. They can be both/and. What do you think?

I fully agree. It is amazing how the same event can affect two people in such different ways. The key is take everything in life, the good and bad, and make it a lesson. I learned that from my brilliant mother:)
And your brilliant mother (I LOVE that!) has learned much from her wise and wonderful daughter. Who we are to each other is one of the blessings and I am SO grateful. I love you. MOM
