I rember the blog post from when it was linked before but a quick Google search did not turn it up.

Yes that is it!
Even before I saw this thread I had been thinking that I needed to go find and read that again. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Re: "Drink Your Bitter Cup" blog post?
That is beautiful. And timely for me
Something I started saying when ds was on chemo to my children. BITTER and BETTER have one letter difference but it is huge When we focus on I (ourselves) we can become bitter. When we focus on E (everyone else) we can become better. BUT now I am not sure of that because in order to take care of others we have to take care of ourselves. I think drinking the bitter cup is a better analogy.

I like the analogy of digesting it and being done with it.
