The Flower Vase

(At my new place)

Daily morning ironing due.
Yawn.
Put shirt on the table like area and iron.
My travel iron hasn’t got a long cord.
And darn, there’s a flower vase which restricts the area.
I’m sleepy.
Let’s get it done.
(Done with some discomfort)
Ironing time again.
Darn that flower vase.
If only it wasn’t there.
If only..
And then I moved it.. and ironed in a peace
It sounds like a simple thing but it was a breakthrough of sorts when it happened this morning. It illustrated to me how easy it is to build a mental barrier (you just have to be lazy and a tad sleepy) and how hard it is to break it post that because you ‘slip’ into a routine.
And you only seemingly break it if you dream of a scenario without the problem itself!
Dream. Act. Discover. Learning of the day.
