"A house becomes a home when
you can write "I love you" on the furniture." 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, bake a cake or plant a seed, 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 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!

It's
not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life
you have lived. |
