The Search For Enlightenment

Tonight I resolved a nutty little problem that was causing my Mom to be ‘locked out’ of her email account.

She’s not as young as she used to be and gets worried by issues like this. I did try to explain the reason behind the problem, but it’s quite tricky and I can’t expect her to fully understand.

I would like to think that I dealt with it in a calm and compassionate manner so as to minimise the worry to my Mom.

This is not the first, and undoubtedly won’t be the last problem she has with her PC, or ADSL or software, but I am happy that I was able to step back and see the issue from her viewpoint. It has always been quite stressful trying to fix things like this, simply because I felt the anxiety that she felt, but this time it was rather different.

I remained calm, tackled the problem in a lateral way and I hope we both benefitted from that approach.

I am happy with my feeling of inner peace and chalk it up to another little victory in my journey towards enlightenment.
