I’m always adjusting my lens, and at age 60, I switched to a new one with widened, improved views, finer focuses, and better clarity. Still learning to use it. And I’m not talking about my camera here, I’m talking about my views on life.

Every heart-break, every disappointment in life, even when we disappoint ourselves, can be scoffed with anger, resentment, fault-finding, self-loathing, or we can embrace them as the lessons given us in life to learn, to grow and to heal. It’s a choice, and it doesn’t happen over night, but we can do the paradigm shift, and it can set us free.
