Follow up on previous discussion about housework:
A note on dusting: remember, a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
A house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture.
I used to spend 8hrs every making sure things were perfect in case someone came over.
Finally I realised that no-one came over; they were all out living life & having fun.
Now when people visit, I don't have to explain the condition of my home, they are more interested in hearing about what I have been up to.
If you haven't figured it out yet, please heed this advice;
Life is short. Enjoy it!!
Dust if you must but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake & lick the spoon, plant a seed, ponder the difference - want or need?
Dust if you must but there's not much time....
with shrimp to eat, rivers to swim & mountains to climb,
music to hear & books to read, friends to cherish & life to lead.
Dust if you must but the world's out there…
with the sun in your eyes the wind in your hair,
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
old age will come & it's not kind, & when you go - as go you must -
you, yourself will make more dust!

Maggie, may I add my mantras....
If you must look at my dust, don't write your name in it....
If you must write your name in it, please don't date it :-)
