restoring order

Morning Reading for May 22

Some days the laundry, the sheets on the bed, the dishes in the sink, they start to hang above our heads, like nothing we do ever really matters because there’s always just a little more maintenance to see to. 

But if you think of each day as a blank slate, a singular moment disconnected from the rest of your life, you might instead see an opportunity: the chance to make the same choice again.

This is not just your laundry. These are your clothes—your clothes. The ones you chose once, the ones you love. You could wear anything but you choose to wear these.

This is your home. The place you live. The bed you can’t wait to return to tonight, the carpet you got a great deal on, and today, you’re not just stuck maintaining it, you get the opportunity to choose it again from all the tens of thousands of places you live.

Take it one step further and, well, the people in your life are the same.

There by choice, a choice you get to make again today and every day.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
