Life is like a box of chocolates.

I'm starting to become convinced that ingenuity is a lost logic or art form. It’s becoming extinct because we have a tool for every task and gone is the way of one tool with many uses.
Sometimes we don't have all the tools for all the jobs. We need to realize that job A requiring tool A isn't the only solution. Thinking outside the box is what made us human. Imagination, inventing new uses for old things. These things sparked our entire evolution as a species. Think about that for a moment and translate it into your own life. Maybe you don't have all the tools, Maybe nobody gave them to you. you can't find them all, or your missing one. Maybe someone you know has all the tools and they aren't even using them! You don’t NEED all the tools to get your jobs done. I bet you already have a few things at your disposal that you don't even use right now. :) Whatever it is. don’t wait for the perfect tool to get your work done. You might never get it, or it might be a long way out. go a different way around, use whatever else you've got and you might just find what you only had to work with worked much better than the things you wish you had.

My husband is my prime example.
This guy was playing softball and slid into third while running full kilt (seems silly I know but he couldn't help it, he was so excited). He busted open his leg pretty good and I patched him up on the field so he could finish playing. I knew he needed to get cleaned up once we got home or he would get an infection. After his wound was clean I tore apart our linen closet looking for the biggest band aid we had, we had to cover his owie otherwise sleeping for him would be difficult. So we had little kid band aids and grown up band aids, I would need about 30 of those so that was out. and there I saw it, a box of big ass maxi pads. I mean, what’s a pad really than just a huge band aid? so with some Neosporin and athletic tape here is how my husband slept his first night a softball legend:

Sometimes we think we need a wound care kit when the whole time we could have used a maxi pad to get the same effect.
Thanks Jon.
