Anyone who knows me knows that I do a lot of reflecting...like a lot.  I do not reflect ever to feel guilty or ashamed or any other negative feeling from something that did not go exactly right on a project I just completed, but to learn.  We all make mistakes but through those, we know to make better ones (hopefully). Additionally, there are so many blessings hidden in those challenges.  I journal daily and there are two categories that I feel apply here. Daily I record any "happy successes" and "things I have learned".  At the end of the week, I review each day, and I summarize them in a monthly retrospective so that at the end of the month, I can get a quick view of each of these categories. I am grateful for every moment and the opportunity to reflect, learn, pivot, and make improved decisions for a brand-new ending.  Take a moment to reflect on your life so far, pause on the difficult seasons and find the blessing buried in that season.  Do this frequently and witness how reflecting and revealing the blessings will change your view.
