Episode Details

Can you have the good bits without the bad ones? No. And a small pond muddies far quicker than a big one, which turns out to be most of the problem.

At one end of the stick are the little joyous moments, at the other the mundane and the hard. Narrow your range and the water clouds at the smallest stir. Spiritual bypassing wants to bin the bottom half of the stick, and you cannot. We never thank the kettle for the three hundred and sixty five times it worked, only shout at it the once it did not.

One thing to try: Thank one thing today that has simply been working. The kettle counts.
