"You can dream all you want, but, bottom line, you've got to work with what you've got. Inevitably, the acceptance of boundaries and limits is the gateway to freedom." -- Phil Jackson
There's only one place where we have no limits, and that's in our own mind. Failure in some degree happens daily. Most will forget the failure itself, and remember how we react to it. No one can stop us from smiling.
It turns out that the gutter guys didn't make it out last Saturday as planned, because 90 minutes of rain fell during their appointed time. More rain later that weekend caused flooding in several basements of units unprotected by gutters. What to do? Curse the darkness (or in this case, the wetness)? Or move on to the solution with quiet determination, calling on the neighbors and comforting them with plans for repair. The repairs may not even be as severe as one might imagine. There's always hope, and so always peace.
