When I got to the bottom of my pile of laundry, I was missing two socks. I looked under the pillows, and under my blankets and even on the walk to the dryer. I checked the washer and the whole laundry room and found nothing.
Then, I walked back into my room and there were my socks, underneath one corner of the bed frame.
I never would have seen them from inside my room. The only spot from which they were visible was the doorway.
How often is it that our problems work just like this? That we’re standing too close unable to see the answer even though it’s right in front of our eyes? More often than you’d think.
Get a good night’s sleep and maybe you’ll see it better tomorrow.
