Light Bulb Moment

Okay...I admit it...I can be a little dense at times...thankfully...I have Bertha around to show me the light bulb moments of life!

You may or may not know that I recently moved...but I did...and I really love the new space that I've moved to. There's just something about it that makes me happy...but...there are a few things that I found less than perfect. One in particular was the light in my bedroom. There's a ceiling fan with a single bulb...I have lamps...but they're more decorative than light producers...so the room has been darker than I prefer.

I haven't let this be too big of a deal...I mean...really I'm only in there to dress or sleep...but it still bugged me just a bit. Last night...I happened to mention it to Bertha...that I wished the room had more light.

You could have blown me over with a feather when she asked if I had considered changing the bulb in the ceiling fan! Well...duh...no...I hadn't thought of that...

You may have seen this coming...it was a 40 watt bulb...it took about 2 minutes to take the bulb out...walk to the kitchen...get a 75 watt bulb...and put it in...

It was such a simple fix...the room is now light and bright...just the way I wanted it all along. Now contrary to your doubts at the moment...I am an intelligent woman...why had this never occurred to me?

Well...Bertha had an answer to that too...and as always it related to life as well. She said that it isn't so much a matter of intelligence as it is a matter of resignation...resignation to the way things are...and just not seeing the possibilities.
 
Wow! She's right on...as usual...I'm going around changing light bulbs in every dark corner of my world...how about you?


Have a great week!

Jane

Who would you get if you crossed Lucy with a popular talk show host?  Why Bertha, of course!  A zany redhead, who is always up to something and drags her sidekick along with her while she's dispensing down-home wisdom and perky advice for finding balance and joy in one's life.  Throw in a conniving nemesis, an antagonistic cat, lime green spandex and high-heels and you've got a book that's sure to tickle your funny bone and leave you wearing your thinking cap as you read and reread each vignette.
