Dusting

[CynthiaD]

"A house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture."  AMEN !!   And my house is sure a home!!  I can't tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING!

I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend
making sure things were just perfect -- "in case someone came over."  Then I realized one day that no one came over; they were all out living life and having fun!

Now, when people visit, I find no need 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, or do some bible study spend time with a friend, bake a cake or
plant a seed, go play golf, 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, songs to sing 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!

 

My mother sent me this & I thought I'd share it with my friends, hope ya'll enjoy this little piece of wisdom ~ Have a great day!
