With everything going on because of the Kitchen SNAFU and subsequent remodel, my Baby Steps pretty much came to a screeching halt. š My friend Kim has been a big supporter and knows Iām frustrated.
She sent me this in an emailā¦ it really really REALLY cheered me up! š I hope you find it helpful. š
LADIES!!! Rememberā¦ a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.Ā A house becomes a home when you can write āI love youā on the furniture. I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect ā āin case someone came overā. Ā āØFinally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun!
NOW,Ā when people visit, IĀ donāt have to explain the āconditionā of my home. 
āØ but wouldnāt 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 Ā if you must, but thereās not much timeā¦ 
Ā Dust Ā if you must, 
Dust if you must, Ā but bear in mind, old age will come and itās not kindā¦ and when you go ā and go you must ā 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.
