Episode 3: One Step At A Time
Episode Outline:
On her way out the door for an audition, Brigitte drops her keys and watches, helpless, as they fall through a hole in her front steps.
Reality Check:
Late for the audition, and looking more like a hobo now that she's had to dig under the dark and dirty front porch for her keys, she goes to the audition anyway. When she gets back, she decides to get down and dirty and rebuild her front porch.
Pulling old rotten porch steps off a house should be considered a mental health treatment option. The feeling of empowerment when you get to smash a 20lb sledgehammer through the decrepit stairs that lead to your home, and the sense of accomplishment when the new stairs; wide, clean, and strong; are installed, is amazing.
My suggestion to all health care professionals out there would be - forget the Prozac! Build a porch!
