Even in a combat zone some simple joys of life come. And sometimes those simple joys are bigger accomplishments here. Two days ago I gave a locally made filing cabinet to my men and asked them to put it together, since, as you know all “good” office furniture comes “some assembly required.” So I went back that night to get it and they said they weren’t finished. I went back the next night and the same thing. Today I went over during the day and the thing still wasn’t finished. In fact it looked the same as that first night. The IT guy staying there said it couldn’t be put together. Something must be wrong, and of course there were no instructions. So we spent the next two and a half hours working on this jig saw puzzle. We finished and we were as proud as if we just won a medal. The little joys in life can be enjoyed anywhere and you should appreciate them we they happen.
