It must have been a shock the first time you faced a big in-your-face moment. You sure seem to be a person who can face it with a strong heart now! <strong>Hi RB,</strong> Thanks for commenting and welcome! I assume the maid was simply a device of the story or lesson to reveal the woman's character and to ask us to examine our own. What does it all mean? I'd go with one of these: “Adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most beneficial to us," ~ Samuel Johnson, or "“Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm," ~ Norman Vincent Peale. And from the Bible, "I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content," ~ the Apostle Paul. Hey, I'm not saying I'm there yet, but I'm moving in that direction. Hi Urban Panther,

Hi RB,

I assume the maid was simply a device of the story or lesson to reveal the woman’s character and to ask us to examine our own. What does it all mean? I’d go with one of these: “Adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most beneficial to us,” ~ Samuel Johnson, or ““Life’s blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm,” ~ Norman Vincent Peale.

Hey, I’m not saying I’m there yet, but I’m moving in that direction.

Did she maintain her good reputation? It is easy to cling to a story such as this, but how does it translate?

I led a pretty sheltered life. So, I never pushed through challenges. I simply walked away. Now I push through challenges, and I deal with adversity quickly and honestly. But it was a long time teaching myself to do that, and sometimes I still have to psyche myself up. I grew up believing that adversity never existed, because I was never exposed to it.
