Who knew doing daily chores could be so rewarding? Since my husband's retirement I have done very little on a daily basis to care for our home environment. I haven't even done very much of the cooking, and I actually enjoy cooking and baking. I was so wrapped up in getting my master's degree and then adjusting to a new job as an ESL teacher that I didn't have the time or energy to devote to housewifely routines.
Today, however, I just puttered around the house doing chores like watering the plants, sweeping the front porch, and washing clothes. I felt satisfaction and contentment in performing these mundane tasks. Keeping my hands occupied in repetitive actions was very freeing--almost like meditation.
