As I was reading your deer analogy, it occurred to me that part of having peace in adversity is accepting that I WILL have adversity and having some basic coping strategies in place that might help at least a little when I go through adversity. Sort of like your yard is adapted to/prepared for the presence of deer.
What a great connection. 100% agree. One of the coping strategies for me is to allow enough wiggle room in my schedule to deal with all the things that will pop up or fall apart. This sometimes means I have extra time to work on projects or even get a little bored.
Katie, which pages are we reading for week six?
Thank you for following along! I missed adding that part in, didn't I? I'll be reading Sections 8-10 in Part Two.

I like this - changing the language, not necessarily the practice. 🤍
Thank you! It is so good to see you here.
