Today I am thankful for my upbringing. My thoughts turn this way because it's close to Yahrzeit for my dad. He shaped a lot of my thinking and attitudes.
I am thankful for instructions. Wherever I can find them: on paper, on line, or stuck to the appliances they teach one about.
Recent example: my automatic sprinkler controls. The electrician that was here on Thursday tripped the power off, which reset all the clocks in the house, including the one that drives the sprinklers.
It took me three days before I figured out everything that was going on with those sprinklers. I got it all sorted in the end. I am glad that these instructions are on the door of the control box, and they are written in words, not those international symbols that so confuse me!
I am thankful for helps that enable me to figure stuff out on my own! I
Our upbringing was certainly different from today and I am grateful for that too. I love to be able to figure stuff out too. Have a wonderful Sunday.
