“Without solitude, 
                 no serious work is
                         possible.” 

                  —Pablo Picasso

—Leon Buscaglia

Every time you find yourself “stuck in a moment” — such as dwelling in negative or unpleasant memories, simply put them in an imaginary box. Be sure to gift-wrap them with shiny paper and ribbons — the more colorful, the better!

Out of sight and out of mind, these learning experiences wrapped with the perspective of time remind us of how much we‘ve learned — and how, by prizing them as gifts of wisdom and maturity, we can pass them along to all whom we meet, just merely by being ourselves.

             “The hardest arithmetic 
    to master is that which enables us 
              to count our blessings.”
