| Laila experiences triumph in the form of an unguarded water glass on the table. |
In a time of unusually high uncertainty and political tension, we could all use something positive to think about. So, I thought I'd write about a minor triumph I had the other day! If I find myself experiencing little triumphs with any frequency, maybe I can make them a regular feature of my blog. Anyway, here goes...

Needless to say, most of the time, the
This time was different, though! I took one of my safety pins and used it to poke a perforated line along one side of the Reese's Pieces package. From there, I am happy to report, we were able to open the package and get our sugar fix.
It truly is the little things in life...
