...washing dishes

My dishwasher has decided to go on strike. Granted, it still runs, but it just won't clean. I've tried the dishwasher cleaner, where you only wash the dishwasher. Nothing. Is my dishwasher trying to compete with me on who can be the least productive? Who does one call to fix a lazy dishwasher?

I read, today, two interesting, mind-provoking pieces. One was a just a quote a friend posted on her facebook wall. The other came in an article sent to me, titled, "Why Lying in a Pile on your Bedroom Floor is a Good Idea".-Julie(JC) Peters.

I read the article once...must go back and break it down, sentence by sentence, some heedy messages. Two  things I wanted to share...

"In the moment, in this pile on the floor, you are the most powerful than you've ever been. Warrior style, on the back of a crocodile".

"Confusion can be an incredible teacher-how could you ever learn if you already had it all figured out".

Tomorrow, I will use Jack's computer to print it out. I have a habit of avoiding that room. I think I'm going to switch the office with the guest bedroom...a new look, so to speak. I'm not sure Jack's sailfish will make the cut.

My favorite moment of the day was when Ben told me that all the rain we've gotten has interfered with his golf game..I'm thinking, what golf game? He has taken a clinic, played miniature golf twice and has attempted to create a course in the backyard. What golf game?..he's never played yet. I just smiled to myself and told him it would come:)

Tomorrow, I have alot of handwashing dishes to do. It won't bother me..it's always been like tending a garden...soothing to the soul.
