We had to get a new stove. It was clear it wouldn't be working soon. But we waited. And waited. The burners on the stove slowly weakened. The oven completely broke.
Why rush into buying a new stove. There are so many to choose from. We will take our time, we said. We decided it was summer, so we could just cook on the grill.
As July turned into August, and school was about to begin, we couldn't put it off any longer. We started looking. We had our ideal versions in mind. We shopped. Days passed. School started. We could wait no longer, we had to buy. We made a choice that met our needs and budget.
When it arrived, it looked strange. We missed our old range - the lines, the look. Where is the overn light button? How do you set the oven temperatture? And we kept burning the food. This stove was so hot. Sure, we could boil water 5 times faster, but we were splattering sauces and burning sautes. It took a few weeks, but we started to get the hang of it. Sure, we had to keep looking for which dial heats which burner. However, we stopped burning our food. And then one day we said "How did we live with that old stove!"
This clearly follows the stages of change people go through
1. Avoidance
2. There's no choice but to change
3. The hard work of change
4. Learning the new way
5. Satisfaction with the change
