Maritza, What a great analogy although if I hadn’t seen The Next Karate Kid I’m not sure I would have gotten it (there was one of these gardens you speak of in the movie). Time to wipe the slate and start fresh.

  Thanks for pointing that out Mike! I may have fallen prey to the “curse of knowledge” here (where you know what you’re talking about and think your audience is too!) Learning for me – to give tiny bit more background!
  
  And I love the Karate Kid concepts! 🙂

Hello, Maritza. Thank you for the Japanese Sand Garden concept. What a way to start the New Year off. What I’ve discovered about going through bad experiences is how much I learn about myself. So instead of focusing on what the other person did or how could something happen, I focus on how I feel about what happened, what I could have done to attribute to it and learn not to do that again in the future, or sometimes this can also be a way of showing you not to allow someone to be a part of your support system. It’s okay to be polite, but until they change, you change by following through with focusing on people you know who are supportive of you. However, when something really bad happens, it is harder to just walk away and feel nothing. I’ve learned to allow the feelings of emotions to take their course and stay at peace with yourself. We’re all human and we all make mistakes. Thank you for your time in reading this comment. Take good care. Happy New Year from Alaska!
