Thanks, confession is so important. So is penance after confession, otherwise I will do it again.

Thanks MaryLu,

That's a lot of wisdom in a little package. It's a theme that I often thought about but never had the good words to express--I've settled with things like, "accept my responsibility" and "take ownership;" but these are the ways that the business world phrases things, and their words don't carry much compassion--they seem a bit robotic. Almost as if to say, "I've got to be a good cog in the machine to make it run smoothly."

It's a lot for me to contemplate. This is another lesson that I can easily learn and forget if I don't consider and pray over its wisdom each day.

Thanks again,

Mateo

You are a particulary special person MaryLu, your words never fail to touch my heart. I can now forget about everything that angers me, thankyou.
