A Double Knot
“The last of our human freedoms is to choose our attitude in any given circumstance.” _Victor Frankl

I have a pair of walking shoes that really serve me well…except for one thing…
The nylon shoestrings constantly relax which eventually causes the knot to unravel. Since I’ve owned these shoes I’ve probably retied them a hundred times or more.
Recently, as I was griping to myself about those nylon shoestrings, as I yet again had to retie them, it occurred to me, “How long am I going to do this?”
I decided that I could…
(1) Buy a new pair of shoes (not cost efficient)
(2) Replace the shoestrings (not a bad idea, but I hate to shop)
(3) Use a double knot
I went with the double knot. Problem solved! (Why didn’t I do that earlier!!!?)
The ONE THING for today: Fuss or find a solution? The choice is yours.
