There are probably other things today that cought my attention and deserve my gratitude, but dishwashing was my mindful moment of a day, one around rather few other things fell into the place. I´ve mentioned that earlier, I believe, that when we focus in gratitude and mindfulness for a moment in a day, things start moving toward it and from it.
So, while washing pots and dishes, I enjoyed the warmth of the water, the simplicity yet significance of something dirty and smelly becoming clean and usable and simply clearing around and moving things from one side of the sink to the other that creates order out of a disorder. Taking to it and taking to it with an open and happy heart moved me further to accomplish other tasks in the day with the same attitude and it somewhat also rubbed off on the rest of the household members.
It should perhaps be added that I do like dishwashing as an activity, unless I am tired or overburdened, so it may be a good thing to start with something one has easier to surrender to when embarking on finding mindfulness and gratitude in everyday things, but either way, I am thankful for today´s moment with it.
