It can be so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day life. The wake up, work, come home, dinner, prepare for the next day, sleep, repeat. It gets monotonous and repetitive. Where’s the fun? It’s important to find the joy in each day.
We are not put on this beautiful earth to just do chores every day. Do we all aspire to have a clean, organized space? Of course. Is there constant flow of dirty clothes, dishes, and trash? Yep.
BUT we need to take the take to enjoy life. When your kid(s) ask to play with you, I hope you say yes more than you say no.
Leave the dishes. Play superhero’s, or princesses. Go outside and explore, play in the dirt. Make your kids smile and laugh and show them the good parts of life.
Leave the dishes. Go on a date with your significant other, or go shopping with a good friend. Take the time to let go and remember the good.
Having a clean living space makes my brain happy, don’t get me wrong! And who knows, I might be the only person that has a hard time letting go of the cleaning sometimes and just relax and enjoy friends and family. If not, I’m here to tell you you are NOT alone.
“Always be joyful.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16 NLT
Notice it says “always be joyful” not always be cleaning or always stress about chores.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.”
https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.17.22.NLT
Proverbs 17:22 NLT
I hope y’all have a great day, and leave the dishes.
