...but huge to me 
My office is in the lower level of our home and over the summer my lovely husband rebuilt the stairs and closed in the treads. Prior to him doing that I simply swept the treads clean and then swept the floor under the stairs to finish. Since he added risers he's been cleaning them as I simply couldn't get back up from kneeling on my own. Today whilst cleaning I noticed the stairs needed a good sweeping and proceeded to clean them using a hand vacuum without giving it a second thought. It wasn't until I was cleaning the dust bin on the vacuum that it hit me I had repeatedly gotten up and down without assistance! Not bad for an old lady with arthritic knees! :laugh:

Fantastic. And what is even better is that it just "happened" without you thinking about it.
Next time I clean my stairs, I'll think about your post, and try to look at the positive aspect - ie that I am ABLE to clean my stairs!0
