Toothbrush

I need to do less to be appreciated more. The more you think about it, the more it makes sense. It's one of those reverse curves in science, I think it is called the law of decreasing benefits or diminishing returns(or something like that). So here's how it works....you do something nice for someone and they're all happy and grateful. You do more and you're acknowledged and given a nod. You do even more for approval and you get criticized for a "job not-so-well-done."

The one thing I always would remember even on one night trips and sleepovers is to take a toothbrush. On our last trip, as usual I made sure everyone's luggage and toiletries were packed accordingly. Who's toothbrush did we forget to bring? Mine. I did the utmost to make sure everyone was packed. All items remembered. House instructions to pet sitter, tickets, passport, snacks and that everyone is up and running in a timely manner. I forgot my toothbrush. A small seemingly insignificant item, an item that was easily acquired at our destination, but an item that spoke loudly to me.

Future.....Lure.....Endure.....Unsure.....Reassure

Autumn is upon us.

Flowers, Trees, Birds, Bees, the cycle continues...the Autumn of our lives is here. Lots to do before winter settles in and we run out of options.
