QUOTE FOR MY DAY: Life
is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Confucius
I have changed many sheets in my
lifetime, many, too many to count. White ones, colored ones, flowered
ones, striped ones, many colors, many designs, many, many times. Many
sizes, twins, full, queens, kings...
I wonder who came up with the
names of sheet sizes? Probably the servant of a King and Queen of something,
somewhere. It started somewhere back in time and has endured many changes (ha!).
It seems so easy. You take them off,
wash them, dry them, then put them back on and they smell so good and
are so clean. You hop into bed and you can just smell the clean, feel
the clean, know the clean.
I wish life was that easy. I wish we
could just stop for an hour, strip our lives of all the dirt, the
anger, sorrow, exhaustion, frustration, you know those “germs of
our lives” (is that a name of a soap opera?). Throw those feelings
into the washing machine and turn the dial to sanitize. Wash it with
Tide with fabric softener to make it come out so soft and smelling like a sunny
day. Then toss it into the dryer, where all the lint of your life
will come off. Then toss the lint into the trash.
Life is like that. It is full of lint,
needs to be stripped, washed and sanitized... and then laid on.
