Good morning world. I was reading something yesterday about a simpler lifestyle, aka old fashioned lifestyle. A whole article was written on "just do it". In cleaning your kitchen, loading your dishwasher, running it, unloading it, reloading until all the dishes are clean and put away. Laundry, literally doing one load at a time from washer to put away. Then after the mountain of clothes are gone, to wash a load a day from washer to put away.
I believe in the "just do it" thinking. Too much perfection gets in the way of my keeping house at times. I mean why sweep and mop before the kids are up like before? Ten minutes after they are up, the floor is dirty or muddy as they come in from doing chores. Someone will "forget" to take off their mud boots or shoes.
So my floors do not get as much attention as they use to. Sad I think. If an outsider were to come to my house right now they might think it is clean. I do not think so. To me each room needs something done to be clean.
How does this go with my desire to live old fashioned? My desire goes further than just a clean home. The very idea of an old fashioned woman goes to the demure they had in the past. The lady like qualities that are not always taught these days. The very values they lived.
Enough ramblings for today. I definitely will be praying about this and what it means to me more. And how I can become more of what I desire in my heart.
Be blessed and be a blessing.
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
