Because of a strange quirk in the warranty, we had to wait 2 months before the dryer could be serviced.
So for the past 2 months we have been taking wet clothes to the homes of relatives and friends, in addition to going to the landry-mat (where ladies look at your underwear!).
This has been a inconvient and at times, frustrating process.
Until yesterday.
Yesterday it ceased to be frustrating and quickly became embarrassing.
Yesterday we diagnosed what our dryer’s problem was.
It wasn’t a mechanical issue where trained professionals needed to be called.
It was the result of a breaker switch that simply needed to be flipped on.
That was all.
We flipped one switch and everything wass different (at least in the Newman home!)
In many cases, change is simple.
It doesn’t require complex analysis, or extensive research.
It just takes one simple decision.
Though simple, it still may be difficult.
It may require courage.
Sacrifice.
Challenge.
Endurance.
But though all this maybe true, we can take solace in the fact that by one ‘flip the switch’, everything can be different.
Flip the Switch.
