Don't let your pots shine brighter than you!
Don't take cleaning or work so seriously. Think that the layer of powder will protect the wood beneath it. A house only becomes a home when you are able to write "I love you" on the furniture.
In the old days, I spent at least 8 hours a week keeping everything nice and clean, just in case "someone showed up to visit", but then I discovered that no one happens to stop by. Everyone is very busy walking around, having fun and enjoying themselves.
And now, if someone suddenly shows up, I don't have to explain the situation at my house to anyone. People are not interested in knowing what I have been doing all day while they were walking around, having fun and enjoying life.
In case you haven't realized yet: life is short, enjoy it. Dust if you need to. But wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, take a walk or visit a friend, bake a cake and lick the dirty spoon of dough, plant and water some seeds?
Weigh the difference between wanting and needing very well. Dust if you need to, but you won't have much free time. To swim on the beach (or in the pool), climb mountains, play with dogs, listen to music and read books, make friends and enjoy life.
Dust if you need to, but life is still out there, with the sun shining in your eyes, the wind blowing your hair, a snowflake, raindrops falling softly. Think well, this day will never come again.
Dust if you need to, but don't forget that you are going to get older and many things will no longer be as easy to do as they are now. And when you are gone, as we all will be gone one day, you too will turn to dust.
No one will remember how many bills you paid, or how clean your house was, but they will remember your friendship, your joy, and what you taught. After all, it is not what you have accumulated, but what you have shared, that reflects how you have lived your life.
