Everyday was laundry day and I would joke that we were wearing a load or two. These days, with big kids coming and going, they all do their own laundry. They are also buying their own cloths so it is always fun to see what they will come out in next. :)Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284866038719721443.post-49793454695522680702013-04-19T09:27:04.817-05:002013-04-19T09:27:04.817-05:00Thank you Beth!

Choose to be cheerful or choose to grump through. <br />I'm glad you enjoyed the post :0)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862575244739399798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284866038719721443.post-19965417532471651012013-04-19T09:25:20.597-05:002013-04-19T09:25:20.597-05:00I should probably need to re-read this post from t...I should probably need to re-read this post from time to time myself, Lauren! You are right, life and living is all about attitude and perspective. <br />After all these years of doing laundry, I'm finally becoming convinced that the folding and putting away is so much easier if I do it right out of the dryer. That's what's really helping me these days.<br />Blessings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862575244739399798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284866038719721443.post-76294742589438358432013-04-19T01:19:07.252-05:002013-04-19T01:19:07.252-05:00I love this post.

I can have such a bad attitude when it comes to that particular chore...especially the folding and putting away part...but I love how you have come up with not just one, but ten great aspects of doing laundry. It makes me realize that if we try hard enough, we can probably do the same about most mundane chores. So much of it is about attitude and perspective. Thanks for helping me realize that today, Linda!
