DUST IF YOU MUST
Dust if you must.
But wouldn't it be better to paint a picture,
or write a letter, bake a cake, or plant a seed.
Ponder the difference between want and need.
Dust if you must.
But there's not much time,
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear, and books to read,
friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must.
But the world's out there with
the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come 'round again.
Dust if you must.
But bear in mind, old age will come
and it's not kind.
And when you go, and go you must,
you, yourself, will make more dust.
Remember, a house becomes a home
when you can write "I love you" on the furniture.

Good Morning !
As you all know for quite awhile I’ve been spending every Saturday with my Dad so that my caregiver sister can have a break and believe me things are getting a little dusty here at my house.
Saturday’s used to be ‘House Blessing’ day. But I’m thankful I can take the time to be with him, so the dusting and whatever else can wait…It does that very nicely.
Dad is home, tests are not complete and he’s tired of being pricked and poked so we’ll just have to wait and see how things go.
We are 3 my sisters and me and between us we’ll help him out.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.

Oh my gosh, you are doing the right thing. I only clean house now when there's absolutely nothing else to do. It is so important to have those moments with your Dad while he's here, I would give anything for that. Have a Blessed Day! Joni
Enjoy your time with your Dad. The dust will still be there waiting. It ain't goin' nowhere! <smile>

I agree there is so much else to do other than dusting. A little bit of dust never hurt anyone.
I hope your Dad picks up soon.
