Cloudy Water - Check Yourself First!

[Toxophilite]

Yesterday evening, I got home right at sundown with low light. Water seemed off and hazed, cloudy! Kicked a few stones for a bit, put the pool cleaner in and started planning my strategy and options and questions for the board. This would be my first and only day ever with non-sparkling water and now it's a cloudy haze. SLAM in my cards when I've never let FC fall??? If so, I've been doing something all wrong, all along!

Went out after dark while robot running and could not even read the bot's label, nav light looked hazy underwater. Then, when I went to scratch my head and curse a bit more, I also took off my glasses. All of a sudden, the pool went to clear sparkle!!!!! Never seen such a layer covering my lenses!!!

Well, this post was initially going to be about asking for help. So, now, just telling on myself instead.

Yep, and I was too elated to be remember to be frustrated with myself! Had to retire that pair and go on spare, as the lenses just would not clear out. I guess the good that come of it is that my pool showed me I've been operating half-blind.

I have often said that I much preferred looking like a fool for free, than looking smart for a bunch of monies. (Having to Slam/ etc)

You got a chuckle and a free fix. Thats good times my friend.

It was about to at least cost me a good bit of chlorine till I could deal with it in the morning. Was just waiting on the robot to finish and get out of the way!

This made me chuckle
& reminded me of this story - not sure who wrote it….

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.

That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbour would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:

"Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!"

And so it is with life:

"What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge.
