Teach
The Call: Learning from My Mistakes — Cheryl
The first time I ever heard the phrase “teachable moment” I was writing for The Denver Catholic Register, and the archbishop or pope had said it. I think of it every now and again when the kids encounter a situation I had hoped to spare them (it generally involves friends or persons they think are their friends). The bottom line is that I try to create something positive out of something negative. This house that we bought nearly ten years ago has provided me with countless teachable moments. Those enormous icicles hanging from the eaves are a good example: they’ve taught me to be much more skeptical of the contractors I hire and much more open to trusting my gut.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be hanging out underneath them!!! Is it something bad about your roof that makes them get that big? They do look pretty next to your orange house though…. ; )
