I don't know how, but I have never seen the picnic analogy. Great explanation. Even though I'm not brand new, it helped me understand further the importance of being patient where I am in my sitch.
I hope to be able to set up my own picnic some day soon. Not there yet, but I have definitely stopped throwing stones, yelling at the walls, crying outside the windows and banging on the doors. I guess I'm just standing outside of the castle looking up and feeling totally lost.
