Sancho Panza and my Mother.

There is an old saying from Sancho Panza from Don Quixote that says, "Hombre pone, y Díos dispone" or basically man proposes a plan and God disposes of it how he wants.

I am not saying we should not have plans, but even the best laid out ones at times have challenges.

My Mother was a very wise woman, although as some of you know she never attended school.

Yet she believed that there were lessons in everything we encountered.

That we needed to do a better job of accepting and understanding challenges (which are quite often troublesome).

"Patience with determination!", I can hear her saying.

Make it a great Sancho Panza día!
