A Happy Obstacle isn’t something that is necessarily easy to overcome,  It’s something you understand before tackling either in part or total sum. Like, a door is a wall, until you find the handle. The night an abyss, until you light a candle. [full text below] Ep. 474 - Happy Obstacles We begin as always with the Happy Creed. We Believe in Happy, in Balance and Growth, of being Mindful and Grateful,  Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! A Happy Obstacle isn’t something that is necessarily easy to overcome,  It’s something you understand before tackling either in part or total sum. Like, a door is a wall, until you find the handle. The night an abyss, until you light a candle. At my day job, I was told a student employee would work “the end of Summer,” I took it to mean “and then no more,” but it meant “then Fall, Winter and Spring.” So, I separated them before they were done—oops, bummer, And had to do some extra steps to try and undo the whole thing. No big deal, granted, though I still don’t like making extra work, of course,  But I made a joke about it, saying “I blame the English language for being vague!” “Damn English!” I said, quoting Joan of Arc—probably—atop her war horse, Leading France into battle to push back the occupying English plague. So, rather than consider every misstep an omen of disaster and doom,  Try to check and see If it really is what it appears to be, And not just an unlocked door into a poorly lit room. Haha Yowza
