What's Under Your "M" Key?

Typing on my laptop was becoming a challenge, my "M" key wasn't responding. I spent a lot of time going back and hitting it again; over and over, with increased pressure until an "M" finally appeared. It was a gradual progression from an intermittent annoyance to a full-fledged pain in the neck over the period of a few weeks. Grrr! I mentioned this to my husband; I wasn't sure what to do, I didn't know if we needed to take the computer in for a repair or what the solution could be. He looked up a DIY repair site on the Internet and found some video help. The next thing I knew he had the keyboard apart, a small attachment on my vacuum, and was cleaning underneath the key buttons. He reported that there was a fair amount of dust and debris under there, but that the "m" key was, by far, the dirtiest! In a jiffy it was all back together and working like brand new again, it was that easy! Who knew? Isn't this the way it is with our lives too? Isn't it usually something very simple that gets in our way and slows us down, something that is insignificant but becomes monumental? A task that needs completing, a hurt that needs attention or forgiveness? What's under your "M" key that's slowing you down these days? It's amazing how quick and easy the fix can sometimes be!

Life is Good!

Enough!

It rings, incessantly. The calls come from toll free services and random cell phone numbers in far-flung locales, political action committees, debt and interest rate reduction agencies (really?), some place called "college alert", fund raising groups and so on. I have registered, again and again, with DO NOT CALL; to no avail. Is anyone else plagued by this incessant ringing? As if it wasn't bad enough, now this trend has also infiltrated my cell phone; this annoyance is pervasive, alright already...enough is enough!

Life is Good...

and silence is golden!
