Our lives are filled with opportunities – but – we often have times filled with serious frustrations.  As Unitarian Universalists, where do we go for practical help and spiritual help when we feel overwhelmed by our difficulties?  What guidelines can we establish that will help us through the tough times?  And is there any truth to the oft-stated belief that inside every problem is an opportunity?  Dave shares his thoughts on the painful side of everyday living and the role our faith and our spiritual community can play in helping us survive and staying productive.
