Solutions? What solutions?

It's been a while, but here goes.

For the longest time, I did not know who I am but I am slowly getting it. I am a fixer, a problem solver. I analyze situations, look for the possible solutions, then provide them to the person who can carry out the best option. Sometimes that person is me, sometimes it is someone else.

What I have slowly discovered however, is that sometimes I can't find a solution. Why? Because sometimes there isn't one. Sometimes life just throws you something that you have to deal with and fight through because there isn't a solution. It does not happen very often that life works like a sitcom where everything is wrapped up with a bow at the end of 30 minutes. Sometimes we get lucky, but not often. For an accountant who seeks completion and finds solace in things that make sense, that can be hard to understand and even harder to accept.

I think I am starting to understand it and if I get lucky, soon I will be learning how to accept it as well. But not yet....not quite yet.
