What are your biggest challenges?

There are days that life itself can be a big challenge…a challenge that can at times be very daunting. Especially for someone who does not fit into the cookie cutter format of humanity.

In the television series “Numb3rs”, Charlie often spoke of sets and subsets when his brother Don was searching for a particular criminal.

Well, life itself is filled with subsets and some of us can fill more than one of those subsets at the same time; but if you don’t fit into the “right” set, things can get pretty complicated.

I just saw on Facebook where a friend posted a meme that said her 2025 New Year’s resolution was to stop apologizing for who she is. An admirable thought, but sometimes life gets in the way and it feels like a hamster on his wheel.

I recently moved and the whole affair was far past a challenge; it was a nightmare that in some ways I will never get over. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was forced to leave some things behind…things that have some serious memories for me and cannot be replaced.

Life itself is a challenge…a challenge that for some is beyond their abilities to cope.
