Remember this...

"It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you."    ~Phillips Brooks


 "I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."  ~John Burroughs


Doing...   I really don't mind doing the laundry...it's a reminder of a well lived life (I could do without matching the socks though).



Eating...  one of my favorite things about summer are the fresh peaches from the local orchard.



Reading...   I can't begin to express how much I love to read.  Books make me happy!



Watching...  Our family is really enjoying the Olympics this year.  So inspiring.


Drinking...  I drink ice tea pretty much all day long.  I make it with a little bit of sugar.  This summer we've been adding a splash of lemonade to the ice tea.  So good.

  3. I, too, don't mind doing laundry. Socks are the worst. We "try" to use sock rings: http://www.sock-locks.com Definitely a time saver. And, the summer after our kids finished 6th grade, they were in charge of their own laundry. This was one of the best decisions i ever made. Helped me give up control and helped them with time-management and responsibility. If they didn't do laundry, they wore dirty clothes - and I never made a comment. Thanks for the photo of the Twyla book - will definitely check it out.
