In My Element
FINALLY, the longest work week ever has come to an end! What is it about the work week after a holiday, that makes it seem like it goes on forever? I'm finally back in my element, at home, among the dishes and the dust. Even though the demands of being a working home keeper can be overwhelming at times, I find being at home extremely restorative. Even though I may mumble about things never staying clean longer than a minute (I'm working on that!), the truth is I enjoy taking care of my home and all that are in. I find joy in homemaking. My therapy happens within the walls of my home. It's where I create, beautify, bring order, nourish, teach, establish harmony, encourage and love. It's not just pushing a vacuum, loading and unloading a dishwasher and dusting knick knacks. It's the work of my soul.

I know exactly what you mean! I am just now getting started on my housework because I helped a friend move today (no worries, I grabbed only bag of clothes, no heavy lifting!) and now I'm having lunch. I can't wait to put on my apron and get my house sparkling again!
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments all over. I feel the same about coming home from work.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your home!
When I used to work outside the home, I always found the weeks after a long vacation holiday particularly difficult.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I loved what you had to say about homemaking. It was very honest and humble. I could tell it came straight from you heart.
Blessings!
I agree! Your family, not your employer,
