60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: When You're a Hammer Everything Looks Like a Nail.

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.experiencewa.com/cities/oak-harbor">Oak Harbor, Washington</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.</p><p>Trekking up Heartbreak Hill the other day I was reminded that it was okay to stop a moment in the shade of a tree, breathe deep and take in the view. I didn’t have to power up that steep unforgiving hill all at once. I was learning to forgive myself.</p><p>You see when I was younger than I am now I stomped around making furious gestures pretty angry about everything and everyone and my lot in life.</p><p>You know how they say, “<i>When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail</i>”? That was me. It didn’t make for gentle living. Although sometimes it was satisfying to bash away.</p><p>What happened next? Age, wisdom, experience, and a deep forgiveness. They say that “<i>Forgiveness is a journey toward feeling whole</i>.” I can tell you it’s worked for me - maybe it will work for you, too.</p><p><i>This is the place to thrive together.
