Reflections 1/4/2020: Figured I’d start my day with a fortune cookie left over from last night’s Chinese Food takeout. (Is that a politically correct term? Hmmm…) Maybe Asian Fusion? (Beats Ed’s New Jersey family roots’ word of choice… which I can’t repeat for fear of censor!) Sidetrack aside, I was blessed by this fortune in my crunchy little cookie! “Failure is feedback! And feedback is the breakfast of champions!” An endorsement of my choice to “breakfast” on fortune cookies? (Opps, another sidetrack.)🤓 Reset. “FAILURE IS FEEDBACK!” I LOVE that! I need to remember that when my “best laid plans” only lead me to what feels like “some bad end.” Lots of valuable information in that journey… and destination! But only if I CHOOSE to ferret the feedback out frothe seeming failure. So I need to peel off the spiderwebs of shame and disappointment and weave them into a cloak of wisdom for future ventures. God, help me to do that. The “failure” part is often due to my impatience with Your timing, and choosing to charge ahead of Your lead. Sorry.😳 So let’s “Wheatie”-up and courageously chomp down this “Breakfast of Champions!”
