a self cleaning house…hmmm
this was what got stuck in my mind among the many plurk updates on my page today…from ayen. an idea that many of us would vote a big YES to if only it’s part of a new bill in the senate. won’t you?
and the following is also part of my day today, i received it in an amusing forwarded email from lunamiranda…enjoy! especially the moms out there, like moi!:]
Remember…a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.’A house becomes a home when you can write ‘I love you’ on the furniture.’
I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect – ‘in case someone came over’
Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun!
NOW, when people visit, I don’t have 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 cookies or a cake and lick the spoon 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!
…so what shall we do now ladies?

Loved this forward, Ces! Now I won’t feel too bad if I see “I Love You” scrawled on the dust on my furniture – hehehe!
Keep this our little secret, though… don’t want hubby and the “hijos” slacking off too much…
