Dust Protects Wood
With everything going on because of the Kitchen SNAFU and subsequent remodel, my Baby Steps pretty much came to a screeching halt. 🙁 My friend Kim has been a big supporter and knows I’m frustrated.
She sent me this in an email… it really really REALLY cheered me up! 😀 I hope you find it helpful. 😉
LADIES!!! 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.
Dust if you must, but there’s not much time… with wine to drink, 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 women 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.
hahaha That’s Awesome!
The concept is is pretty good, eh?
