Things I Have Learned...

"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it.   If you do that, you will double the danger.   But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."

~Winston Churchill 

OK then... after a week of turning my back on a problem I knew existed, I took the bull by the horns a couple of days ago and checked the bank account to see what had caused the quite rapid and unexpected dissipation of my funds...

And in doing so, I found out what happens when I forget that a particular chunk of money now goes into one account AND that now I have to transfer it to the working account to cover my outgoings... 

The credit union was helpful and understanding (though not as helpful and understanding as I would have liked!) AND still the results are not pleasing! 

A substantial correction is called for, please Universe...

The positive that has emerged from this financial mess?

I learned that I have finally let go of the need to internally slam myself for days and nights on end, for my oversight, for adding to the difficulties we are experiencing...

I learned that I can finally be understanding and compassionate with myself for being human and not perfect...
