Today's Thank You Game challenge is to thank someone who taught you something.

There are very few life experiences that don't hold a teachable moment. If you care to look beneath the surface of appearances, you'll most likely find an "aha" or two. The greatest learning for me usually happens in times of distress, pain, suffering. So I would like to thank the people who've brought me those dark moments, when I felt most wounded, or betrayed. You have been my greatest teachers. Thank you.

Maya Angelou many years ago shared this profound  wisdom: "When people show you who they are believe them; the first time."

Now, I do.
