I only laughed because I can see the same thing happening to me.

But seriously, this is a GREAT lesson in perspective!

Shadows – it’s amazing how they can lead our minds astray. Sometimes it truly is best to see situations, and stains, in a different light. I think you have a word which will bring lessons for us all to learn 🙂

I had to laugh when I read the resolution to your stain problem because something very similar happened to us recently. There was a mysterious gray stain on our quartz kitchen countertops that appeared out of nowhere, with no apparent cause. I scrubbed with the magic eraser and other things but it wouldn’t go away. Then the next time. I looked it was gone. Randy said it was a shadow, but who knows. I was just glad it wasn’t there anymore.

Reminds me to slow down too. This is an exciting word for you!

A funny lesson but with depths of meaning. What a difference a different perspective can make! I love your word. I see you as a naturally curious person and I am looking forward to glean more lessons from “curious” this year. Love and blessings to you!

Such a concrete example of how we can find solutions by taking a new perspective on the situation. Your word, curious, is off to a running start!

When I used to sew and try to get the pattern to fit a fabric remnant I’d bought, sometimes I’d have to sleep on it. The next morning the solution would be so clear. Rest helps too!

One of my earliest misunderstandings with my husband arose because I assumed his motives. But once we talked about it, the situation disappeared, like your stain, because it wasn’t a problem to begin with. I try to keep that in mind and not jump to assumptions and imagine all their supposed reasons in my head. But I still sometimes fail. It’s so enriching to see things from another’s point of view.

Makes me curious too about how many things I might be treating like stains when they are actually just a strange and different arrival of light?

i’m already learning from your word.
