Today's Failure

Describe a time when a personal failure became a positive experience.

I'm exhausted today. K and I cleaned the barn for more hay that is even now being put away in the barn. Weather says rain is coming our way part of the week; so I am glad the haying is progressing so well.

Failure to me is slipping from my mindfulness attitude. I can easily do just that, when I'm tired and have to be social. About 50 years ago I decided it's better to be silent that say things that aren't relevant to someone else's peace of mind. Over the years I found out if I'm too quiet someone thinks I should talk. If I say what I see it's better to shut up. So, today I think I would be better to shut up because barn work wore me down.

I just reread the prompt and I have to say there must be a time when failure was a positive experience, but I can't remember one at this moment. Maybe, that's because I put failures behind me and move on as well as I can. And I try to remember the human experience is a bumpy road for everyone.
