My House is a Mess


The reality is I really don’t care.  Yes, I do.   Well not enough to really do anything to change it—for more than a week.

It would be so interesting to walk in somebody else’s shoes for a while—somebody that actually puts their shoes away.  I might learn an alternative lifestyle.  I went to a friend’s house this morning.  I go there every week to pray with five long time friends.  Her house is always put together.  Not just clean but accessorized—orchid on the kitchen island, flowering plants potted at the door and tea kettle piping on the stove.

Do you think it is my hurried lifestyle that makes me messy?  My friend’s kids are grown and gone, mine aren’t.  Who am I kidding I always have an excuse.  I will still have stacks of paper on my dining room table when I am a grandmother!

The reality is I really don’t care.  Yes, I do—just not enough to change.
