Things Are Not What They Seem

April 6, 2015 by robincharmagne 15 Comments

Hello there,
Did everyone enjoy this holiday weekend? Things are getting so dicey in The A with the weather. I mean it’s April and yesterday was downright cool. I started that mini Spring cleaning I mentioned to you all on Friday and gifted my sister with a ton of clothes, some still with tags. She was thrilled and I have much-needed room in my closets. Then I headed to my folks for Easter dinner. I love seeing my nieces all decked out in their Easter dresses – a really fun day with the family. But speaking of family, today’s post is about a humorous situation but of course, there’s a lesson tucked in there too.

OK so I’ve had this lil blog for 3 years this September and one of the first things I purchased was a tripod for all my pictures.

Um yeah, the tripod is sitting on canned goods as noted by my twin brother, here’s how the conversation went:
Twin Brother: Why you got the tripod on cans?
Blogger Sister: So it will be tall enough for my pictures
Twin Brother: Why don’t you just extend the legs?
Blogger Sister: Uh? What?

Who knew? I extended the legs and now have a 72 inch tall tripod. Unbelievable that I’ve had this tripod for almost 3 years and assumed the legs would not extend, but things are not what they seem. That’s true in life too. Sometimes we look at a situation and we just take it at face value, or it may not be exactly what we need, so we improvise. We just accept the way things are without a second thought. But if we look deeper or more closely, we can see that we don’t have to compromise or go to plan B – canned goods. Had I looked at the dang thang, I would have seen that the legs extended. Sometimes we just have to look closer.

We laughed and laughed and the canned goods are back where they belong – in the cabinet.

Have you ever seen things one way and realized you weren’t seeing clearly?

    Haha! That is so funny! I mostly see that in people. Like when you finally see their true colors and how mean they can be:-) Good life lesson, though!

    This is too funny. I would have been like you. I would not have thought that the legs would extend.

      Hi Kishina,
      Funny is right. Hopefully my pics will get better now I know how to “operate” the tripod. Have a great day!

    Too funny! I have had and I am sure will continue to have moments like this that I like to call “Seniorments”. Enjoy your week.
