Some Assembly Required...there are NO "Quick Fixes"
Beware the words: Some assembly required. OR, Assembles in minutes. Translation: "Unless you have the patience of a saint, the IQ of Einstein, and more tools than Sears - be prepared to spend a very frustrating weekend". (I suppose an entire weekend could count for those "minutes"... they don't say that it Assembles in 5,405 minutes just "minutes".)
Some assembly required simply translates to "This particular item is fragmented into 6,000 pieces so be cautioned and know that they are all labeled A through AAAAA" (oh, and keep your children away from the pieces that can be harmful choking hazards.)
My point is, there are no such things as weekend projects. MOST projects require a minimum of two weeks, unless you hire a professional (assuming that the professional is punctual) that will get your weekend project done in less than a week.
It's kinda like relationships. There are no quick fixes to relationships that are broken. There are no small repairs that will take care of something that's been festering for a year or so. Wouldn't it be great if you COULD actually call someone to do a weekend fix-up on your relationship, and have it reassembled in minutes? All the bitterness and all the anger *poof* gone. Within minutes. Depending, of course, how truly in need of repair your relationship is.
So, the instruction manual that came with your "Assembles in Minutes" looks more like a copy of War & Peace and you're wading through it desperately trying to get to the gist of the thing so that you can at least get an IDEA of what it's supposed to look like. What if you handled your relationship this way? Instead of looking at a picture of what you think your relationship should be, or drawing upon what your expectation of what your relationship should be - why don't you just look at what's in front of you, then start assembling the pieces based on what FEELS right to you?
It's just a thought for you. I have my latest project lined out, with some assembly required. I know that toward the end, I will consult with a professional to assist me in finishing it. Isn't that why God created professionals?
Have a super day! I'll be available for your calls as I work on my little project.
Sending you angels,
Jane
