Discovery

We all make discoveries, every day, big and small. Maybe you find a quicker way to work one morning when there's a jam at your usual light. Maybe browsing on Facebook leads you to someone you haven't seen in years, but were just thinking about the other day. Maybe you find a pair of socks in your lover's laundry that doesn't belong to you... or your lover. Maybe you happen to have Wikipedia up when a trivial question pops up in your mind.

These discoveries can change our lives in ways we never could have imagined - now you get to sleep in five minutes later, or ask your old classmate how life is going, or find out that some people have to wash their clothes before they are worn, even if they're being given as gifts, and use up your five minutes of staying-up-later time reading about squirrels.

The thing I most recently discovered is that one can make Rice-a-Roni in a rice maker. Making dinner -and my life- has now gotten that much easier, since my discovery.
