Dusting

Post by swetha » Wed May 23, 2007 1:42 pm

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 at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect "in case someone came over"
Finally I realized one day that no-one came over;

they were all out living life and having fun!
 

NOW, when people visit,  I don't have to explain the "condition" of my home.

They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun.    

If you haven't figured this 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 cookies or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a seed,

ponder the difference between want and need?!



Dust if you must, but there's not much time . . .. .

with rivers to swim and mountains to climb,  

music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and 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 and it's not kind. .. . .  

And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust!

Share this with all the wonderful friends in your life.  



I JUST DID.





It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

I love this!

It reminds me of a very wise man who said to me when I asked ...
how does one tell if someone is an old soul, or not.

His response was...  an old soul doesn't care how much dust in on top of the fridge.

We must be old souls!

I don't think women do, its the muth-in-laws that do lol. I remember the midwife telling me to rest when I had my first baby, I was hoovering one handed, baby in other because she was due over and the midwife saw me through the window, she really straightened me out, saying that the dreaded muth-in-law should be doing the hoovering for me, I had just had a baby fgs lol!  So from that moment on I rested and grew a very happy, relaxed and dusty house, my kids watched spiders breed in the cobwebbed corners and no-one ever dared hide under the bed lol, no point, the sneezes gave you away!


Thanks made me smile.

Right ON!  I love this, too!  I have a sign in my house that says, "Housework makes you ugly!" and I'm stitching one that says, "My idea of housework is sweeping the room with a glance"--not original by me, but I like it.
