Laundry is my least favorite chore. I constantly feel as though I'm swimming through the piles and baskets and lights and darks and white and lost socks... it overwhelms me. Right when I complete an entire week's worth of laundry, I find the same baskets overflowing just two days later. If there is one task I never fail to complain about, it's laundry.
A childhood friend of mine, who lost a child, mentioned this quote recently and how thankful she is for the piles of laundry in her life. Maybe I'm late to the party, but I don't remember hearing this one before. It really touched me. I need to live more in the moment and be grateful and satisfied with "the now." Yes, the piles of laundry are inevitable. But, I need to remember the sweet little healthy bodies who are dirtying that laundry, and oh how grateful I am for them! Thanks, Jess, for the reminder! You are a strong mama!
