Trial and error

Thomas Edison was once confronted about the multiple attempts to invent the light bulb. His response gives us the exact attitude we should always have about trying things and possibly failing. Thomas Edison didn't say something like I have failed so many times in these experiments, I should stop. No, Thomas Edison said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Do you have that attitude when something doesn't go the way you planned? What if Thomas Edison had stopped after 9547 failed attempts? or 9999? How long would it have been before someone else found the right way? How would our lives be different?

Deep right? Well, my trial and error is not some big thing :) It's just me trying to make cream sauce. I have yet to master this seemingly easy task in the kitchen. Too much flour, the sauce is thick. Too much cream or milk, the sauce never thickens. Using mozzarella cheese instead of Parmesan, big failure. I wanted to have left overs to eat for lunch today but that will not be. I ate a couple of bites then decided I wasn't going to make myself eat it.

Is there something in your life you are still mastering?

And, I have a new phone. I love it...it's red :) It takes really nice photos, so here are some of me and my kitties. It does different colorings, so cool.
