Thx for the Welcome... 
I think you got it, the bittersweet thankfulness thing...To me it means finding the Ying/Yang in everything, and finding enough balance in yourself, with work and training, to choose to see the positive in any situation. Some situations are easier than others, but to realize that the universe reacts for you, not to you, gives you both a certain power, and a certain powerlessness. After all the years of searching, and all the steps it has taken me to be able to perceive and understand what he's saying, the writings of Eckhart Tolle have been helping me to shift my perception a great deal lately, kind of like when everything starts to come together at the end of a project.
For the others out there, always know that if you keep trying, and find value in every step, whether forward or backward, you will get to where your going...
