Laundry,
cleaning up the kitchen and getting dinner ready,
keeping the fire stoked,
baking bread,
making yogurt,
and maybe a little knitting in the afternoon.
It's the holiday season, and we all feel the pressure to being doing "holiday work" -- baking holiday cookies, making or shopping for gifts, wrapping Christmas presents, and on and on.
Ordinary is good!
Ordinary keeps us grounded in what matters to our families. In the long run, whether or not I baked Christmas cookies on December 4, won't matter to my husband and kids. But keeping up with daily chores, like laundry, cooking and general housekeeping, will matter. After all, eating cookies for dinner, and wearing dirty socks, isn't in my family's best interest.
It's nice to have just an ordinary day, right in the midst of the holiday frenzy. What are your chores for the day?
