When I Fail
When I fail, I retreat to three different neighborhoods of my mind: the neighborhoods of Shame, Denial, and Grace.
Sometimes I run to only one. Sometimes I visit two - I sit around on park benches and sulk for a while. Sometimes I pass through all three neighborhoods, doddling and wandering before I finally make my way home.
Why do I do that?

DiaGnostic,
Thank you for your comment!
I checked out your blogs - I appreciated your thoughts and your style to post others articles,thoughts and such as well. Cool!
In response to your comment, I have another question for you.
What do you think about this whole shame, denial, grace process? You seemed to empathize with my mind's process on coming apon a failure very well! Do you think it's universal, or just for some of us?
Why do you think we sometimes have that need to hide things we've done? Or be ashamed of our failures?
I'm over my "I have A question" limit. I'll stop now... but I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts!
