Sometimes It's The Little Things

---

This old gal…

Mentioned to that neighbor of hers…the Queen of Everything…that our toilet needed fixing…her advice…YouTube it…diy…easy peasy…lemon squeezy…

Started looking into the toilet…like really into it…fiddling around in the tank…mesmerized…this connects with this…to this…and then water flows out of this…

Don’t know what was expected…some advanced computerized space craft thingamabob perhaps…but it was shockingly…simplistic…a stick…with a chain…pulling up…a plug…

One of us volunteered to help…forging ahead…while the other…tried to follow step by step instructions…this got messy…tense…slightly haphazard…

Found the handyman in the garage after…thanked him for helping…and thanked him…for not throwing a tantrum…during the process…

Because when things didn’t go just right…me from the past…was waiting…for the fit…the rage…the angry finger pointing…

But it…never came…

And so it is…in life…sometimes…it’s the little things…so often taken for granted…like doing a task…without fear…without walking on egg shells…

That makes one realize…how truly blessed…they really are…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
