How do you handle it?

Years ago, Kate was prescribed a powder that was horrific to try and swallow.   We went to the psychologist and told him how bad it was.   His response “So let’s problem solve”.   That visit had a big impact on me and my life.   The solution is horrible, so let’s find a way around it.   He wasn’t going to leave us where we were, he was ready to bring us forward to find a solution.  

Tonight I thought of him a lot.   I drove down the street to mine and needed to go past the town electric truck, fire truck and police car.   I attempted to pull onto my dead end street to find it covered in branches and leaves.   My first thought was I won’t make it.  But the words of long ago to problem solved  came through.   I moved smaller branches this way and that and was not only able to get my car to the house but also Moms car off the street.   

Life long lesson, plan A doesn’t work.    Let’s problem solve until we find a solution.
