Hello and Thanks for your visit. I have some news today that after my (February 28 post) I'll be taking a break for awhile. After 13 years, 2 Books and over 750 posts I want to Thank Everyone for your visits & shares that helped us send Wellness around the World. You can still view all past posts in the archives and I'll pop in occasionally to say Hi. Have a great Spring & Summer ahead and keep Moving Forward with kindness, compassion and Peace. Thank you and Take Care.
Growing up we made our bed every morning before breakfast and our walk to school. No it wasn't the 2 miles up hill in a snow storm kind of walk but we did live on the Prairies and the winter was very cold and windy.
There was no not doing it - one task completed.
We had to come home for lunch (only bused kids could stay at school) and after lunch we had to do the dishes before we left to go back to school. Lunch was the big meal of the day so plates, pots, whatever it was, another task completed.
We only had human dishwashers and dryers then.
Then later helping with supper and more dishes, another task completed.
Not fair, I was the youngest and later I was the only one left to help Mom.
We never thought about the dishes, ironing, shopping, house work etc. as tasks completed it was just all part of the normal household activities before we could get back to school, start our homework, go play or whatever it was that day/time of year.
It's funny now looking back how different it was for our kids and us off working and packing the daily lunch or leaving one behind for who's at home.
It's different now with school meals, commuting and what it is where you live but I think the idea of having age related jobs and helping with making the tasks completed sets a good example for us even from a young age.
Have a great day and week ahead.
PS. Yes I still do make the bed everyday.
But sometimes one of our dogs goes for a nap and messes it up.

Thank You beautiful young lady.
When I first heard this version of the song I completely softened and after the last couple of years I guess it was needed.
It was Simple, Beautiful and quickly moved deep into my heart.
I felt like I had angels from above beside me, and reminded me of the angels I had and have here on earth that I'm very thankful for.
PS. I went searching in my book Moving Forward from the Heartto find a few words to finish off this post. I didn't have to go far to find this ending to the meditation, Lullaby of Peace.
