At work we have an intermittent error.  I started to see a pattern on what days it failed and what days it succeeded.  So, now we sit and wait for the failure.  If it fails on schedule (the pattern) then we succeed; so failure is my new success.  Weird huh?

Perhaps I can apply that to other aspects in my life. 

 I have many failed relationships.  When I look back, those failures were definitely  successes.  I couldn't imagine being with any of those men long term.

I've failed to get many jobs that I applied for.  I am happy where I work now, so those failures were successes in disguise.

I did not get the first house that I tried to get (or the second, third, fourth...).  I love where I live now, so those were also secret successes. 

I have failed on my diet many times.  Looking back....nope, that was still a failure.

Okay.  So, I can't apply it to ALL aspects of my life.

My very first book.  I love the cover.  All the credit for that goes to Paul Beeley at CreateImaginations.

I absolutely fell in love with GAAR-MINE. Even though he is tough and barbaric, he truly has a soft spot for Trinity, which made his character so lovable! And Mirra is just so protective, lethal, yet soo cuddly and I adore her too because she saves Trinity’s life…on many occasions.
