Wednesday, 12 July 2006 - Chores

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for chores.

On days like today when my mind is muddled, I do chores. My xeric garden is not maintenance-free so I pull weeds, deadhead plants, feed the tomatoes and gather seeds.

My house is messy so I straighten up the "public" areas and wash three loads of laundry. I sweep the kitchen floor, bundle the newspapers for recycling and water the indoor plants.

Not the most productive day when it comes to writing but a busy and satisfying one nonetheless.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
