A Thorny Issue
Photo quote de jour

Isn't that just like life? I'd done a bunch of photo quote de jour in advance and planned to use this one later this month. As most of you know, I expect the unexpected and smile at life's ironies. Today ended up being the perfect time to depict a thorny issue. Yesterday, in the humid 100 degree heat, I'd foolishly planned to take the train into the city to attend a Finnish documentary film festival and weirder than that sounds, couldn't find my car keys. After a frantic search, I realized it wasn't in the cards. Maybe I avoided some thorny disaster by not going. I'll never know, but I do know after I'd missed my train, I felt oddly calm and thought about having a nap in a bed of roses. The next time things are more thorny than petal soft, reconsider your options. Maybe the thorns are pointing you in another direction.

Sounds like you car keys were hiding from the heat and hinting you should do the same.

Exactly. It was an exercise in self-sabotage.
