One gloomy morning, as I was mopping the kitchen floor at 6 a.m., I had a revelation
I had noticed for several days that water was leaking from one of the washing machines in the kitchen. Since it was just a small drip, I hadn’t bothered to investigate the cause. It didn’t seem worth worrying about. And now, I was paying the price for that tiny lapse in judgment. Water was everywhere, the dog was traipsing in and out with muddy paws, and I was running out of time before taking the kids to school… you can picture the scene. I kept repeating to myself, ‘If only I had done something when I first noticed that little leak!’—until suddenly, I realized something.
