Learning from the positive is a theme in the book I reviewed this month (30 Lessons for Living).

For many, it might be a trap,( for others, a purpose and huge fulfillment) and when I was struggling with caring, I was given some counselling sessions free . A total waste of time and government money, I felt I did more listening than the counsellor. The one thing I learnt,<br />the ABC, i.e. A.. activation of an event or happening, B, belief why it happened, C Consequence and how to deal with it. 2 sessions out of 6, I didn't go to the other 4!!! Hang in there, dear friend, book reviews as you do are so important, and maybe even the author will learn something. This is one aspect that needs real life experience to be able to write about it in any proper way at all. Almost a frost here this morning, 4 Celsius.
