Monday Morning Musing: The Cordless Screwdriver

Welcome to Monday Morning Musing! (It is Monday, right?!)

The purpose of today’s fun little game is to pause over a quote and somehow apply it to ourselves. You are free to comment boldly or simply go about your day thinking about our musing moment quietly. Whatever works for you!

Ready? Let’s get to it!

The Quote:

I am something of a recluse by nature. I am that cordless screwdriver that has to charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use.

— Don Miller
The Question:
Can you point to an item that sums up your personality? What is it and why did you pick it?
I’ll see you in the comments.
Happy Monday!

  1. Well I have to say Donald says it so well. I thought about my iPod…. It can play music, games, or a movie…the battery runs down differently depending on what task you are doing and I am like that. It really depends on the situation and the people as to how long I can run before I need to recharge. As an introvert by nature I need recharging often!

  2. Between Christy’s iPod and Don’s cordless screwdriver I have no better item to describe my introverted nature. But I do think Christy’s is more apt for me, “the battery runs down differently depending on what task you are doing”. And right now I’m feeling like an iPod that only got about 1/3rd of the way charged, it’s going to be a long Monday.

    My husband was once given a cool, gigantic flashlight–the spotlight kind. It worked for about 5 minutes before fading fast. And yeah, it needed the full 20 hours to charge. That’s how I’m feeling today: fading fast. A cave on a deserted island sounds delicious right about now. ;-)
