What obstacles are YOU blind to?

My life was altered last week.   

Why? 

Because we removed the baby safety locks from our kitchen drawers.   

Miles is the youngest, & he turns 7 this weekend.  7.  And I’m pretty sure he defeated the safety locks by 18 months. 

If, at any point throughout the last few years, a visiting friend had attempted to open a drawer, I am 100% certain she would have questioned the safety locks.   

Because why in the hell would a toddler-free family submit themselves to such frustration? 

Why? 

Because we had stopped recognizing it.   

Because we had moved beyond the frustration. 

Because the additional time & energy required to open EVERY drawer in our kitchen had become our norm. 

And it took me Marie Kondo’ing the kitchen & removing everything we owned from every drawer we used every day to see things from a different perspective.  

To recognize the ridiculousness of it.

And when I did, we removed every one within an HOUR.  

Years of frustration eliminated within ONE hour.  

And now I open each drawer with ease.

It’s a beautiful, new world.

So what obstacles are in your way?

What obstacles are YOU blind to?

It may just take a different perspective to alter YOUR life.
