Contentment.....

Yesterday had a small computer job.....
Helping my daughter, Lynn, make some simple corrections and connections caused a 15-minute job to turn into a 2 hour....... treasure hunt.
The end result after all ‘complex’ options had been exhausted.
(I.e.; uninstall.....re install etc. call brother Chad for more expert technical support etc.).....a ‘bad’ transfer cord.
The ‘process of elimination’ expedition was frustrating, time consuming, aggravating and stupid in some cases....
Assuming that all the exterior cords were functioning properly is a statement of faith......each time the computer is booted up!
Even taking a new cord out of a package gives one the confidence that the thing will work simply because it is ’new’.....
Yesterday....it was the ’new cord’ that was the problem at the end of a two-hour ’hunt’.
The elimination part of the job led us to dig up an old cord to prove the connection was ’live’........
There was the ‘problem’.....the new cord was faulty!
There is absolutely no way we could have known that.....going into that job!
Only after every known avenue of possibility had been explored....could we see it as a ‘trouble spot’.
That is called EXPERIENCE!
Yesterday we gained an experience that we didn’t want, hadn’t anticipated and could have done without.
Having successfully completed the little job.....we were contented.
Aggravation was out the window....sharing a glass of tea, laughing
at Joshua’s antics dispelled the stress and anxiety of the previous two hours.
Yep, another one bites the dust!
All is well.....until next time.
With all this ‘experience’....and help and support from other ‘experienced family members’......we can face the next issue of life....be it mechanical or personal.
In this I find extreme.....CONTENTMENT OF LIFE!!!
