Such a Small thing, causing So Much …

We have one of those small refillable water sprayers in our house.
It normally works, perfectly ok, until it doesn’t. 😦

Not knowing why it’s no longer working, can be so frustrating!
“You worked Yesterday, so WHY aren’t you working Today???” Could be a place, that I could end up going to. If I’m having a really bad day, then could I possibly end up going to a cartoon scene of me Strangling the poor little water sprayer, and screaming, “Just Work, you little Thing!!!” ???
Hopefully I won’t ever reach the point of finding a tree branch, to then beat it with, screaming out, “Just work, won’t you.” 🙂

OK, I’m possibly/almost certainly, going a bit over the top now. 🙂
But sometimes, if things go wrong, then can it just get to us?

In the past, it’s been the little hole in the cap that unscrews that’s been the problem. The little hole, just gets clogged up, and it’s been a real difficulty to unblock it.
Which can lead to the cartoon scene of … , well, hopefully you get the idea.

This time, before I reached any cartoon scenes, I quickly realised what the issue was, but I was still perplexed as to how I was going to clear the clogged hole. Then out of the corner of my eye, I just happened to see, our toothpicks out on the side.
The short version, one of the plastic toothpicks, turned out to be just the thing to clear out the clogged hole. So, this time, the issue was dealt with, without any theatrics, and no cartoon scenes of …

How much better it is to see a solution to a problem, and to then do it, and succeed, than to get all worked up over something, that then leads to, a boat load of grief and aggravation, that nobody wants. (Which I might have done, in the past, over such a tiny little clogged up hole… ???)

How much better will it be for us, if we can just see the answer to our problems, that are right in front of us?
Rather than to just seemingly miss them, for whatever reason?

How much better will it be for us, if we can just hear that small little voice, that has the correct solution?
If we could only hear, and follow, it’s prompting?
