Confusion while buying a picture frame

For a Mother’s Day gift, for my mom this year, I decided to print up a photo that my niece had taken of my mom and I a few years ago. A few days ago, I printed the photo, then I went shopping for a 5 x 7 frame. This task seemed more difficult than I imagined it would be.

The picture I printed was horizontal, but as I looked at the frames, they seemed to all be for vertical pictures. This definitely caused a little confusion for me and it took some time for me to figure it out. For a short time, I even thought that I might have to reprint the photo in a vertical format. After a lot of thinking and looking carefully at the frames, I realized that I could just turn the frame sideways. I am so relieved!

Two days later, in thinking about this, I realized that it really doesn’t matter that I was a little confused while completing this task, but rather what is important was that I was successful in figuring it out. I need to celebrate these moments when I’m still able to manage things on my own.
