A Proper View of Mistakes

Don and Margaret enjoyed the visit of their daughter ad her family.  For their parting meal together,  Margaret, a retired professional cook, prepared macaroni and cheese, a favorite meal of her two grandsons.

With everyone seated, Margaret brought in the main course and placed it in the center of the table.  She raised the lid and to her dismay discovered that there was just hot cheese sauce in the bowl!  Margaret had forgotten to add he main ingredient, macaroni!

Regardless of age or experience, we all make mistakes. It could be thoughtless word or a poorly timed action, or perhaps we simply overlooked something or let it slip our mind.  Why do mistakes happen?  How can we deal with them?  Can they be avoided?  A proper view of mistakes will help us answer these questions.
