Win column???

Thought I would share what I suppose would be one for the win column. Yesterday when I got home from work, I check DH's bathroom daily, to make sure he is not sneaking a cigarette in there. No smoking is allowed in the house. To my surprise, there was poop in the tub! First thought, Oh no! Then quickly thought of the horror stories I have read here with fecal matter in other places throughout the house. I thought, How lucky am I! Another step deeper into the hole. Perspective is everything.

It is funny how we now see things as a win. I often find a pile of poop on the floor by the toilet in a nice neat pile, and like you, my thought is at least it didn't get tracked over the house.0

I am smiling because perspective IS everything. Thanks for making my day brighter.0

As caregivers we've all had those win-win moments. Things could always be worse.0

When the toilet is clogged, I’m annoyed that DWs poop is so big and hard. When I find poop on the floor, I’m GLAD it’s so big and hard. Perspective.
Sorry about adding more poopy talk.
