Own It

---

This old gal…

Uses reusable K-cups…coffee tastes decent enough…but find they can be a pain to wash…

Aways smack the thing on the inside of the waste basket…bang those wet grounds out…this time banged too near the top…and wouldn’t you know…grounds flew all over the floor…

Omg…came the crabby thought…if…someone…had just pushed his garbage down when throwing it in…one of us wouldn’t have had to bang so close to the top…

But just as soon as that thought was finished there came another one…a kind of chastising one…

Well well well Old Gal…came silent words…are we doing this now…are YOU doing this now…suddenly playing the blame game…

See it every day…everywhere…TV…social media…out in public…the But What About’s…the Yea But’s…trying to shift blame…

It’s exhausting…frustrating…and apparently…contagious…

But this old gal is humbled…learned her lesson…realizes the importance of owning it…and from now on…instead of pointing the finger…

Will use it to loosen those packed grounds…before the banging begins…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
