Small Things Count

In today’s Thursday Thought quote, Carl Jung explains why we so often rush to judgment.

I just hugged my washing machine.  I’m over my mad about my old one’s not lasting the 25 years I’d expected of it.  Instead, I’m in love with my new washer.

I couldn’t believe the tiny bit of detergent it takes–maybe an ounce?  And I was flabbergasted when I let it fill with water, peeked inside, and could see damp clothes but no water.  It’s Energy-Star, to boot.  So I’m saving $$$$ and being eco-conscious while getting cleaner clothes than I got with the old machine (may it rest in recycled peace).  It wasn’t an expensive model, either, especially after my energy rebate.  And it isn’t one of those front-loaders that so many people are having trouble with (no mold for me, thank you!).

I admit that little things like this excite me.  Okay, maybe I should get a life.  So sue me.  Better still, when your old machine gurgles down it’s last sudsy gulp, buy one of these.

Today is National Child Health Day. Let’s celebrate it by seeing not just to their physical health but also to their emotional health. Let’s hug our children!
