The Power of 2

After a brutal winter in our area, everyone is enjoying the sun and the warm weather. You can see lots of people outdoor in their tank tops and shorts. You can also hear more and more birds singing with increasing variety of tunes. Trees are slowly turning into colorful ornaments.

I and my wife decided it is a good time to give our cars the cleaning they deserve. So, yesterday early morning, I took them out of the garage and instead of taking them to the car wash, I took out the long-shelved water hose, car shampoo that I bought last year that had never been tried, and other cleaning paraphernalia.

I did the soaping, vacuuming of the interior and my wife did the rinsing and the cleaning of the floor mats. And we helped each other in drying the cars. We talked to each other while doing the chores. May it be for the purpose of discussing the task at hand or talking about future plans and family matters.



The cars were pretty dirty inside and out that it took us a few hours before we can finally put everything down and stare at the fruits of our labor.

How great it feels seeing your vehicles clean and shiny. But the best part of the whole exercise, in my opinion, is the teamwork that we put into it. I know it took us a while to complete the task but it would have taken us a lot longer with a lot more energy and stress if we didn't work together.

In almost every task in our life, having someone to share the load with always makes not just the work easier but the journey more enjoyable. It makes us accomplish more, eventually making us feel better.

Sometimes there are life experiences which are not to our liking. And having someone by our side can transform some disastrous incidents into manageable problems.

Do you like celebrating successes and grieving failures alone? Or would you rather share them with someone else?

"If we are together nothing is impossible. If we are divided all will fail." -- Winston Churchill

Have a blissful day!
