Trouble spots.
Everyone's got them.

Morning traffic reporters often refer to trouble spots on freeways-areas that regularly get bogged down with traffic. Global politics are FILLED with trouble spots...the Middle East and Africa always come to mind there.
There are trouble spots in our economy, in the food chain, in the educational system, in the water supply, in phone reception and in Netflix's online service. Athletes have trouble spots that are prone to injury - each sport with its own particular list. Women have trouble spots that aren't affected by diet or exercise, and teenagers have trouble spots on their complexion.
Everyday, we seem to hit the same trouble spots in life - and it can be aggravating! Many times, the trouble spots we encounter are beyond our control...but sometimes they can be avoided or resolved by making some simple changes.
Where are YOUR trouble spots?
Today's Small Thing is to identify a trouble spot - something that regularly presents a problem - and work on a solution that will solve it.
My trouble spots?
Laundry
The kitchen counter
Bathroom counter
Family calendar conflicts
Wanting to take a nap every afternoon
Filing papers
Thighs
Well sadly, we probably can't remove thigh cellulite today, but perhaps we can solve one or two other problems before the day is through. I am going to focus on the calendar and papers today - and see if I can turn those two trouble spots into triumphs.
How about you? Where are your trouble spots? Is there something you can do to alleviate ONE of them today? Let us know what you're doing!
