Change and the Cupboard Door - Part 2

I am apparently wholly incapable of altering some habits -- namely the closing of open cupboard doors. It has been more difficult to give up closing a one-hinged cupboard door than giving up sugar and caffeine!

My husband's solution was to remove the cupboard door altogether. It is now on the floor, propped against the closest wall. I'm looking forward to the hinges arriving.


In the meantime, I'm contemplating the meaning of this development. Perhaps temptations need to be removed in order to break persistent habits. Perhaps big changes are easier than small changes. Or, maybe changes forced on us by others are completely different than those we choose to make for ourselves.

What little changes would make a difference in your life? Which ones are hard to make? What would it take to make them? Do any of your cupboard doors just need to be removed by someone who cares (or is simply tired of watching you close them repeatedly)?
