The good thing about recognizing our weaknesses, as in alcoholics anonymous, is that we can work on them. If we deny them, if we consider ourselves perfect and full of virtues, we can hardly transform ourselves into better beings. Certainly, kindness could never be a weakness, the problem is what others do with kind people: take advantage of their good heart. I have many weaknesses and although I try to change, I often find it difficult to do so. I have worked on many of them, God knows I have, but others persist as a personal mark. An excellent theme for this end of the year, which pushes us to look at ourselves in the mirror and be honest. I hope you are enjoying your new home and these December days. A hug, Eric.

So true Nancy! Identifying our weaknesses is the first step. It can be tough to change our behavior, especially once we have four or five decades of it etched into our brains. I've noticed it's almost like going against instinct at this point. I have to remind myself continually to be more cautious when dealing with others. Thank you! We've been thrown into the realities of homeownership early. We discovered a plumbing leak we're dealing with but, hopefully, it'll be a minor thing. Fingers are crossed. : ) Take care and enjoy your Thursday!
May any problems be minor, my friend. A big hug
