Psychology calls it 'reframing' when we turn the can over or sideways or... however we move it or ourselves to see it in a new way. Suddenly things make sense, suddenly an old thing is interesting again. Suddenly a whole lot of connected things begin to make music where before it was just noise. I love reframing!

I'll often get annoyed that I cannot find my keys only to find out they are in my hand.

Actually, we have just bought a new can opener. The old one just up and died.

Welcome to the club. I've done things like this, gave me a laugh at myself.

Oops. You learned a new lesson the hard way. Better late than never. Those can openers do have a way of acting like the Devil, especially when it comes to tuna cans.
