Today's happiness thought is brought to you by laundry. Like most moms laundry is not my favorite thing to do. It seems a never ending chore, in fact. Laundry waits for no one. It's unforgiving of schedule or circumstance. Time marches on and laundry piles up. It is just the nature of the beast. Why on earth would I find any happiness in that?! Well, I'll tell you. When I was in college I spent a summer abroad in Italy. There we had no modern laundry conveniences. We had to use the scrub board and hang the laundry on the line. I had NO idea how much work that was! WOW. Do we have have it easy!!! And boy - did I ever miss fabric softener! I never really understood what that was all about until I took down underwear from the line that could stand up by iteself! HA!
So today's thought is a reflection of my gratitude toward the inventor of the washer.... Here's my happy laundry haiku!
Laundry is not fun
But a washing machine makes
The chore easy
