It Really Is That Simple

“The alarm woke me this morning,” my husband said, “and I was glad.” Usually he is awake before it goes off, and if he is sleeping, it means he’s really tired. “I was dreaming. I don’t remember the dream, but I know I was confronted with an unsolvable conundrum I didn’t want to solve. Then the alarm went off. ‘Eureka!,’ I said, ‘That’s the answer. Wake up.’ So I did.”

I sometimes think we (or maybe I should say "I") purposefully make things much more complicated than they need be. Then that's my excuse for not doing whatever; it's too difficult, confusing, time-consuming, when really, it's only because I've made it that way.
