Sitting here at the computer to pay bills is never my idea of fun,but neither is washing,sorting, ironing, and putting away clothing either!! But, as we all know these things must be done,right?? I watched an episode of "Wife Swap"yesterday where the families were totally opposites. One family day to day operations were run straight out of boot camp. Literally every minute was scheduled- there was no deviation from the schedule,there was no room for unscheduled chaos,no quiet moments stolen to quiet one's mind,complete order!! The other family was very nonchalant, laundry was literally piled up in every room,the house hadn't been cleaned in what looked like months and family meals were straight out of a box,or from a fastfood restaurant. I must admit as I watched this show while keeping my sweetheart company,as he cut hair I pondered the issue of balance. To have order is always good, and to let things go on occassion in my book is necessary,but to finding the perfect balance,that is a never ending challenge. After leaving the barbershop,I happily went home and finished the laundry, ironing and putting awayout clothing was done with joy, really! I put on fresh linens,vacuumed and did the rest of my chores with a renewed peace of mind-my life is not perfect by no means. Afterall,I am known for letting baskets of laundry pile up in my sewing/ironing room,but hey at least it's clean!!!
Oh balance! Something we all need in all areas of our lives. It's so hard to find though, RastaMomma!?! You sound pretty balanced though, I think...
ReplyDeleteHey, if I find that stuff called 'balance', I'll let you know so you can get some more (smile)!
