Laundry

You might be wondering why I would be posting about something as mundane as laundry.  Well, here's my "laundry list" of why laundry is my positive thing...

1. If you have laundry to do, you have lots clothes to wear.  Some people don't have a lot of clothes.
2.  We just have to turn on the washer and we have clean water to wash our clothes.  Some people don't have clean water to launder their clothes, or they must walk to a river or stream to clean their clothes.
3.  We just have to throw them in the dryer, press the button and our clothes are dry.  We don't have to hang them outside to freeze-dry and then iron all of our clothes so that we can wear them.  Think Laura Ingalls and "Little House on the Prairie" here...
4.  Nothing smells better than baby clothes coming out of the laundry.  I don't have babies anymore and I miss this.

As you might imagine, Saturdays are my laundry days and I usually dread this chore.  Today I challenged myself to look at my laundry with a different set of eyes and really appreciate what I had.

Today I wish you a new look at your dreaded chore...and the ability to appreciate it.
