The Maid.......A Home to Clean

I am thankful for the day that the maid decides to show up. It doesn't happen very often but every once in a while things get so messy that she surfaces.......the angels begin singing and the sun shines bright.
Actually I am thankful for my home...the home that I can keep clean.  When you look at your living accommodations compared to the world you realize that you have it so very, very good.
One day when I was complaining about the house (before the fire) Gary reminded me that 3 Korean families would live comfortably in our home and feel like they were living in luxury.  Yes, this stopped my complaints and made me grateful for what we had.
I was reminded once again that I was grateful for our home when we had our fire.....19 years ago Dec. 27 our house burned down. We were without a home of our own.  This make you realize how much you have when you have a home of your own.
So bring it on maid, lets make this place shine like the top of the Chrysler building!
I am thankful for a wonderful, warm, well furnished, home.

Dust Keeps As Long As You Don't Write In It

I am siting here looking at a fine layer of dust on all my things.....I know I should dust, and do plenty of other things but for some reason I don't, I just sit and think about it. Some one once told me that dust will keep as long as you don't write in it......so true. As soon as it is disturbed you then have to get down to business and remove it all or else. But that soft furry look is nice on a cold blustery day. It softens the edges (kind of like soft focus photos?) of my life.
Oh well the dust and plenty of other things will keep.
