Everyday chores do not inspire confidence until the job is done, chaos is gentled and order restored.
Taught how to sweep the floor, wash the dishes and make the beds, children rail against everyday chores still caught in the joy of play.
Adults mayn’t grow to love
everyday chores but when
they pile up without Mary Poppins
it’s leave them or gentle the chaos.
“The cleaning is something I use as a reward if I get some work done.
I go into a very happy state of mind when I’m vacuuming.”
~ Joyce Carol Oates
