The dryer won’t start.  Drat. I did laundry this morning and now the dryer won’t start. I checked all the connections.  I checked the fuse box. My thoughts ran to “I just had to replace the washer at my rental. ” I knew that didn’t have to be my experience. As Yinnie my Mini Cow rubbed my left leg,  I glanced down. I noticed the dryer door was not completely shut.  I shut it and the dryer started. What was my lesson here? That I can be completely connected, all systems go but unless I “close the door,” I can’t move forward.  My experience is if the past is not resolved, then I can expect that when things are going very well, it can all be yanked out from under me.  That’s why I get it all resolved when I’m down in the muck of it and have far less to lose.  That way I don’t spend my life looking over my shoulder and waiting for the axe to fall when things are going well.  That way the only momentum I have to be concerned with is forward momentum.  I contemplated the “close the door” metaphor and realized there are a few things I could close the door on, so I spent this early morning considering just how I might do that.
