A Bit to Read

It’s a gray one today, and I would guess there’s rain on the way from how it looks outside but I’m not seeing any in the forecast.

If they say so.

It’s decidedly cooler, though, and as we edge toward November, I am thinking these interloper thugs dispersed throughout the Chicagoland area are about to get a taste of the real wind off the lake. I’ll take one of those brutal winters Chicago has to offer it makes them miserable.

And may all their beverages be lukewarm.

Some time ago, I tried out LEGO, thanks to the adorable little pink typewriter a friend got me as a gift. It can be two other things, but no chance of that.

It was followed by a flamingo, and then the kingfisher.

Oooh boy.

The kingfisher.

You may or may not remember that I had a whole lot of trouble with it, at one point I had pieces that would not stay together no matter what I did, every time I tried to progress. I almost had it.

Then I didn’t.

Well, I went back to it. And again, I’d try to get the back of the body on, and off the tail would fall. I scrutinized the instructions, but couldn’t figure out my problem.

Then I decided to just look at it another way.

Instead of doing it in the order the instructions told me, I flipped the body over and went from there. Click.

Stable.

When I couldn’t get the body onto the stand at the angle it was supposed to be, for all I could tell, I did a slight rearrange, and once again, click.

Stable.

And now I’ve finished it, when I wasn’t ever sure I’d even go back.

It’s a truism of life, isn’t it, that even if we aren’t in a place to deal with something right now, it doesn’t mean we won’t be tomorrow, or next week, or next month.

Now might be the only moment there is, but it’s not the only moment we’ll have.

If you know what I mean.

I’m a little concerned that may be one of those things that sounds all grandiose and profound but actually doesn’t mean anything.

I think it means something.

I’m pretty sure it means something.

You can put things down. And you can pick them up again, if you want.

You also don’t have to if you don’t want.

But in this case, I’m glad I did.

Have a great Wednesday.

Buy me a cup of coffee!
