A Walk in Faith

I’m up at the crack of dawn, clutching a cup of coffee, carrying a laundry bag, paddling toward the laundry room.  What to expect?  A former client has already left a cautionary note.  Behold, a shining new-fangled washing machine, with enough gadgets and signals to alert the dead.

Don your glasses.  Push the built-in compression button. Reread all the options.  Note the “cycle status” before proceeding.

Advance with caution, lift the lid, review the cycle features.

Using the skill of a licensed airplane pilot, I proceed to load the washer: add soap, water, clothes – white or dark- close the lid.

The green light flashes.  I’m off the runway and in the air.  The cycle begins!

It’s the digital age.  It’s a walk in faith.
