DUST IF YOU MUST
LADIES!!!
Remember...
that a
layer of dust
protects
the wood beneath it.
'A
house
becomes a
home'
when you can
write
'I love you'
on the furniture.'
I used to spend at
least 8 hours every weekend
making sure things
were just perfect
- 'in case someone came over'
Finally I realized one day that no-one came over;
they were all out living life and having fun!
NOW,
when people visit,
I don't have to
explain
the
'condition'
of my home
They
are more interested 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
cookies or a cake
and lick the spoon or plant a seed,
ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must,
but there's not much time ....
with
beer to drink,
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!
It's not
what you gather,
but what
you scatter
that tells what
kind of life you have lived.
