Chipping Away
Why is it that there is always a missing cable or adapter in our lives? The phone’s adapter blew out and I finally got the replacement in the mail. I took the opportunity to rewire a few others things – like my WiFi – and I have forgotten what a pleasure it was to roam around the home untethered.
It’s not like the pure technology excites me anymore (although it is still somewhat cool) but we so easily grow accustomed to life’s little luxuries. How many times have we torn the living room apart looking for a remote – just to turn on the TV? Or where is that cordless phone today?
These minor annoyances so accumulate into such large stresses sometimes. But chipping away at the tangle of missing and misplaced wires, adapters and other paraphenalia in our lives does make a small yet significant difference. Such daily improvements and additions create a base on which to create larger and more important changes.
Being in the now can even make doing the dishes more enjoyable. Which reminds me…
