Solving problems

[pegkerr]

Tell me about a problem you have had in your life that for years seemed insoluable until one day you got fed up and tackled it once and for all and, to your surprise, got the problem licked.

How did it feel to solve the insoluable problem?

I could use some inspiration.

What a great thread of comments

Not about me, but still inspiring: my father was an alcoholic who made my teen years fairly horrible and definitely abusive in places. The family didn't have any ability to talk about this or communicate in any useful way. One day, when my mother was away on some trip and it was just me and him, he came home and poured 7 up instead, and never went back. It is the thing I most admire about him, and will always remember.

I once quit a great job and moved to France for a year and a half, where was was not entirely happy and ready to come home after 9/11-- but I am glad I did it. I wasn't married and my rabbit died, and I did it. I think it changed me as a person to make such a radical move and shake myself up.

Go you. You can do it. If i can go to the dentist and get root canals, you can do anything you want.
