m is for mundane

there are so many things in our day to day life that are routine, have to be done each day—kinda leaves you feeling that ground-hog thing—kinda mundane things---what are some of the things you could do to lessen the mundane effect---i have found a few ways through the years, so i thought i would share mine--

this may sound a little odd but i hate to shower—now i do it every day—as a matter of fact i could not leave the house without doing it----but it is something I actually dread---so

i used to take that time in the shower to pray extra, but recently i have used the time to sing, mostly in my head, sometimes out loud---praise songs and hymns---this gives God the glory and keeps me from worry praying--

laundry---while taking them out of the dryer, i take the chance to smell most items as they have the most wonderful fragrance, fresh from the heat----while folding them---i take note of whose, shirt it is, sorta keeping a running idea, of who has the most laundry pieces--

okay and this is really out there so stay with me---when washing the dishes---i know, does anyone still do that—there is a mechanical reason, i do this chore—but actually i do not mind doing the dishes---when i was a kid, my two older sisters got to wash and i always had to dry, which i despised---sorry, back to my point---when i wash my utensils, i wash them one by one, waiting until i have four in my hand and then rinse- i imagine that the spoons are women, the forks, boys and the knives men—so none of these families have girls, in them---which gives me an idea—the serving spoons can be the moms and...well you get the premise--

if you are still reading, i will offer one more example---and i truly don't think this one makes me look like a nut----while dusting, i reminisce about where i purchased each item or who gave me such and such----

i hope this has helped someone, who struggles with the mundane things we all must tackle each day---or at least made you feel saner than someone else--
