The Flying Pickle Jar

What do you use your empty pickle jars for? We recycle them as drinking glasses. They are my hubby's favorite. On March 2, 2005 an empty pickle jar came flying off of the second shelf of the cabinet as I grabbed a drinking glass, my favorite are the dainty one's from our shower. All I could do was slam the cabinet door to keep the jar from crashing to the floor. I slowly peeked into the cabinet to see the jar tottering happily on the first shelf right side up, safe and sound. I sighed! The thought crossed my mind about when a heated issue reaches up at me and I want to bolt off the shelf, then is when I need to quickly slam the door on it until I gain control and be reasonable. The tall glass of water is good and refreshing, as I take a gulp. And I didn't have to clean up any messes. The cup, my relationship, is 'still' in one piece.

Funny that I should reread this story from my journal on this day. Yesterday in the morning hours such an issue reached up at me... (Pause to answer the phone and another issue just flew into the picture) ...whew! I finally dealt with yesterday's pickle late last night. And now I must ease onto the next shelf for today's pickle. Thank you Lord for the pickles~I Love Pickles, kosher to be exact!
