Day #746 - Lost Things

And looking after them

It’s the first camping trip of the year, so I’m sorting out the gear and packing up the trailer. At the end of last season, I cleaned everything up, and sorted it out, but never quite got around to putting everything exactly in the right place.

At the time, it was just another odd job: I knew where everything was, and there was a lot going on.

So today, inevitably, as every year, I have spent ages searching for the one bracket, socket, or piece of gear that I need, which is definitely not on the robust shelf, or clever place, where it is supposed to live.

The lesson is one I consistently fail to learn: things don’t just look after themselves.

Use your sixty seconds today to consider this: what do you look after?

And are you always good at it?

I know I’m late today: it’s because of the lost things.
