Dirt Comes Clean

What are you doing today? While I wait for your answer today I'm thinking about a common phrase in my house.

'Dirt Comes Clean'

These 3 wonderful words helped many aspects of my life and marriage. How and why? Those words to me mean; have fun with the people you love in a way that makes you continue to love each other, don't sweat the dirt. There will be problems along the way so use the abilities you have in order to live your life. Problems can make your life hard but interesting at the same time. Dirt will come clean.

In my life at this moment it means playing with my kids using everyday things. Kids have great imaginations and will play with just about ANYTHING as long as you are playing with them. I use everyday things because they don't break the bank and I don't have to spend more time working away from my family. I haven't met a little glue or mud that won't come off.

It means less vacations, but TV all the time is boring. So hubby and I tackle some reasonable house renovations by ourselves. Like deciding to redo our privacy fence. It's great marriage counseling and it's fun to get dirty together for something we both work hard for.

Dirt Comes Clean is a figurative phrase as well. Early on hubby and I had a hard road to travel and we had to learn neither of us is perfect. Perspectives needed a little changing, our skills at forgiving needed a little practicing. We had to clean ourselves and each other up.

Don't avoid the Dirt..er work..er problems. Strive to have fun with what you have been given today. Sometimes it's everyday dirt but enjoy your life now, easy moments or hard ones. I had to learn that getting 'dirty' and facing my problems as well as the fun stuff makes for a great everyday life. Sometimes it's mundane but mundane isn't bad all the time.

So here's my blog about everyday life. I will try to post once a week. I'm searching for people that are in the same boat...that should be most of you. We all have to live our lives one moment at a time. So what are you doing today and how do you live your life?

Perspectives anyone?
