"A house becomes a home when you can write
"I love you" on the furniture."

I can't tell you how many countless hours
that I have spent CLEANING!



I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend
making sure things were just perfect - "in case
someone came over". Then I realized one day
that no one came over; they were all out living
life and having fun!



Now, when people visit, I find no need to explain
the "condition" of my home. They are more in-
terested 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 a cake 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!
