Just because we dont like it dosent mean it has to be terrible for us. Just because Ive dreaded doing dishes by myself every night for the last heaven knows how long, dosent mean that todays dish fiasco has to be an unpleasant one. Its nice to remember its exactly what I make of itMiss Lisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886850144648768576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-13875968145128633162010-06-08T11:19:01.507-07:002010-06-08T11:19:01.507-07:00Hi Kathy.

I am your newest follower.<br /><br />My sister was married to an alcoholic for over 20 years and then remarried another. I have watched my two nieces really suffer. Yes, it does change the whole family unit. <br /><br />I like this post. You're right -- we have control over the way we think. Great example. <br /><br />Have a great evening!<br />BethBeth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-29703761698865429532010-06-08T09:28:56.352-07:002010-06-08T09:28:56.352-07:00i usually really enjoy doing the dishes. i find it...i usually really enjoy doing the dishes. i find it very therapeutic. unlike many of the things i "work" on, doing the dishes is a task i can complete and not worry about my mistakes. when i was in college and had a paper due or a book to read, i would feel so overwhelmed so often. but if i got up and cleaned the toilet or washed the dishes, it felt so helpful. i could get out that energy, meditate while i washed, and when done, have the satisfaction of a completed task. which usually cleared my mind and then i was able to focus on the other thing i had to do.<br /><br />thanks for this post. it's a great reminder :)me as i amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709343968813770150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-29873699467383053152010-06-08T06:14:00.474-07:002010-06-08T06:14:00.474-07:00There is a place in all our hearts where ritual wo...There is a place in all our hearts where ritual works so wonderfully, it's that whole idea in AA of suit up, show up, shut up...ask God, let it Go and keep your side of the street clean.<br /><br />Thank you for this brilliant reminder!<br />PeaceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127343815869529555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-56677000495347966212010-06-07T22:54:48.362-07:002010-06-07T22:54:48.362-07:00I love this.

I found myself to be completely happy, relaxed and at peace. It ended up being very ceremonial for me and I find with painting the house new colors, cleaning the closets, etc., it is like a cleansing of my soul.

I talked to myself out loud, kept saying "I can do this". "I can do this." I grabbed a wash cloth and that spider was so fast but I got him. But because of my fear of spiders, my heart was pounding. I marched into the kitchen, started washing dishes. Then drying them and putting them away. I can tell I like that judge. Oh, and you too.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.com
