I thought I would share just a few insights with you today. (I am trying to limit these posts to 5 minutes, after all!)
- Don't obsess about housework. Your kids and grand-kids will not always be with you. Housework will always be there.
- However, if you don't clean up your kitchen, your mother-in-law will show up! This is a tried and true maxim. Works. Every. Time.
- The more stuff you have, the more you have to clean.
- Always stop and think, "Will it matter 5 years from now?"
- Anytime you wash the car, it will rain.
- Take a picture the first time you feel fat. Years later you can look at it and think, "Wow I was unbelievably skinny that day."
- Life goes better when you start the day out with something that makes you happy.
- Nothing beats a belly-laugh, preferably one accompanied by some snorting and chuckling.
- At the end of the day, it won't matter how many things off the to-do list you accomplished. What does matter is, "Did your people know you love them?"
What have you learned from your journey?

Y'know, that kitchen maxim. I can attest to its truth even without a mother-in-law.
ReplyDeleteSo true about not worrying about a clean house, but enjoying the time with the kids or grand kids! All good things you have learned over the years.
