Unfair, was an unvoiced thought when I first learned about compromise. Mom had no one but me
and my grandfather to help her with the little brothers that kept arriving almost every year and I wanted to do other things after school beside help...but eventually I learned empathy as well as
admiration for my mom and her strengths...and yes, I did learn the value of compromise and when it was NOT a viable venue for me...the lessons of learning to compromise have served me well throughout my life. :-)
I Look forward to Peggy Noonan in Saturday's WSJ and now I look forward to reading you! Congratulations! Everything I have read resonates, especially sitting in my car...
Your grandmother introduced me early to the word "compromise"....Love you mucho, Nina
Oh, thank you, Nina! Compromise always felt like "giving up" to me when I was younger. It's probably more helpful to celebrate what you gain when you do!
