Dear Humans,

It doesn’t happen very often, but occasionally I’ll get the urge to iron something. I’m not very good at it (especially shirts) but it sure does feels good to use steam to accomplish something.

And if you’re even half-way decent at ironing, you can accomplish a lot. I like to iron handkerchiefs because they’re nice and square. When they come out of the dryer they are a wrinkled mess. But in minutes I have them hot, crisp, and folded in a nice, neat pile.

Most of life is not like ironing. We work and work and work and don’t always see the fruits of our labor. But we have to believe that we’re getting the wrinkles out–one day at a time.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
