I have found a hard won truth in these oh so many years of self-torturing sitting in a house of dusty clutter. I have found it is perfectly fine to feel good, content and satisfied for the moment amidst things undone and yet to do. Beds need made, including the dog’s. Laundry needs finished, so do the dishes… But the house is so still, all but for the soft sounds of sleep on a cold afternoon. I can’t help but think to steal a wink or write a line or two as I steep in ambiance comfy as an old pair of shoes. As much as I may dream of rooms that look like pictures in magazines, truth be told I cannot commit to the discipline that perfection demands. My apple didn’t fall close enough to my mother’s tree. So I relish those moments when clutter becomes my castle walls and I am fulfilled within my realm. My loyal subjects are safe and warm and deep in dreams of their own. I know in my heart there is no place like home. LGR©12/11/16 |

Eh . . . It is an amazing, wonderful feeling when you are feeling sated and grand without worrying about those dusty old cobwebs, etc. Just chill out! ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Who am I to judge... I sit here in my room, day after day, reading, writing and watching TV. I drink coffee, soda and eat snacks sitting at my computer... I even have a laundry chute for extra convenience. Today my wife yelled up at me "WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP THROWING SOCKS AND THINGS DOWN THE STAIRS"  |

Me too James! First chance I get, the first thing I do is turn off the darn TV. Thanks for commenting. ~L |
