It's Monday

It's Monday here in the trenches, time for all the angst that happened over the weekend to spill over into the lawyer's office.   Family disputes are some of the most difficult ones with which to deal, because often the stated problem isn't really the problem.  Emotions change the nature of any conflict, which makes resolution that much more difficult because first you have to identify the emotional drivers.  Knowing that, here are a few words of wisdom on this Monday.

"We do not see things as they are.  We see things as we are." (Talmud)

"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear, and life stands explained." (Mark Twain)

"If you don't like something, change it;  if you can't change it, change the way you think about it."  (Mary Engelbreit)
