Problem solving... yuck. By definition it means something's wrong. I used to be this strong woman and would resolve them myself with some basic thinking 101 or by meeting with colleagues. Now I talk a few things through with my mom or dad or my counselor. (I hit the "life is too much" mark, started having daily migraines and, along with a couple of other issues, am now having to fight my way back out of disability into having a life again.) I used to use my commute time to unwind and generally solved a lot of problems during that time, causing me to call myself to leave the resolution on my voicemail. LOL! And sometimes I solve issues in that state between awake and sleep when my brain is most active/creative and have to wake up and write it down lest I forget. Ann is write about "letting go". I have had to learn to let go of people who were nothing *but* problems. I am a bit behind reading GB's books... I took a trip into contemporary books for a bit. But after I read the book I just started I will be heading back to historical books in order to get "caught up" on a few authors. Thanks for the great stories and the great work you do helping children!
