It’s All About Laundry

http://laundrypile.blogspot.com/

I went to bed last night snuggled up next to my favorite cuddle-bug.

If my dreams were clouds, then the clouds that I was seeing were

baskets and baskets of laundry. I went to bed knowing that my

laundry would greet me in the morning. Of and on throughout

the night, I would wake up and ponder over the question, “What to

do with all of these clothes?” O.K. Desperation is the mother of

invention, I am told. Here it goes:

***********************************************************************

Note: I have a sense of humor. I am not totally serious.

************************************************************************

1. Leave my church family and join a nudist colony.

2. Donate my ‘extra’ laundry to a farm that has free range pigs.

3. Get a case of my favorite color and dye ALL of my clothes one color.

4. Place everything in a garbage bag and send it to my parents.* I love you, Mom!

5. Donate all of the laundry to the local thrift store and go shopping.

6. Buy some colorful pillow cases with zippers. Hide the laundry.

7. Pile everything into the trunk of my 1987 Buick Le Sabre and drive fast.

8. Fill eight boxes with laundry, place on the curb, and write on the boxes. FREE!

9. Take your extra clothing and sew a tee pee. Buy some 20 foot poles at Home Depot.

10. Just fold it.

*I know someone who actually did this at the end of each college semester. She is

a veterinarian.

****************************************************************************************

I have decided that I just need to fold it.

Thanks, Dr. Nicole, for providing some GREAT information.

I have NOT tried any of your suggestions, however, I HAVE

read in other resources about the herbal remedies that you

have spoken about.

I follow the blog ‘Rocks in My Dryer’. I am getting to know the author slowly

but surely. When I read about ‘My Boy’, a child that Shannon sponsors through

Compassion International, I knew that Shannon is the REAL THING. She is

full of compassion. I read about Disson, her boy through Compassion

International, and I realized that I can STOP, TAKE A BREATH, AND SAVOR

the pile of laundry that I get to fold today. I can CALL MY DAD and MOM,

I can hug my kids, who are HEALTHY, and I can enjoy having four walls

and a refrigerator; it’s full. I might think that I have worries today.

However, Shannon tells a story about a young man who lives in a

mud hut and who is cared for by a brother who is not healthy.

Both of his parents died last year. And, look at that smile.

Applause! Applause! Applause! Applause! Applause! Applause!

Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your kindness and compassion.

I read the prayer that you whispered in his ear and I shed a tear.

Peace to you and your family,

An Ocean Of Memories- A Woman’s Journey-Norwegian

http://almasmemories.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/glassboblen/

A young woman faces an illness and speaks of her life, her illness and

what is to come.

*************************************************************************

Here is my message to you:

I wish for you a good day.

I stop by and visit you from time to time.

I know that you are in pain.

If I could take all of that pain away I would.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

It is in sharing your experience that we all

begin to understand what it might be like

when we face our fears, our pain, our past and

our future. I am in awe over your courage to share.

****************************************************

I don’t know you personally, however, I have known

many friends and family who understand your journey; your pain.

*******************************************************

If I could translate your story, I would.

Sometimes I just want to sit back and read about your

journey. I start to translate it and then, I stop.

I want to RESPECT YOU as you travel on this;

your journey, your life.

I really feel that is what I need to do.
