Love is in the Laundry Room

love-is-in-the-laundry-room

Standing in the laundry room, I quietly hummed myself as I sorted out the piles of dirty belongings preparing them for the wash. Emptying pockets removing toys, crayons, rocks, and money I smiled at each piece that was forgotten in the pocket. Each item was cherished by the owner which made me smile at some of the oddities found within their pockets. My mother use to say that love is in the laundry room and I often wrinkled my nose looking at her and the daunting chore that never seems to end. It wasn’t until I had to empty the pockets and see the treasures my children keep. Love is in the laundry room waiting to be reclaimed by those who hold on to it.

Alone in her tiny home the cottage owner sits and drinks her tea. While many would question her station in life, she cannot be more content. She spends her days busy with her work and puttering around the little cottage. She listens to the chatter of her fur babies as they meander in and out of the house seeking their own adventures. Her nights are filled with quiet solitude as she prepares a meal or two and then sets to working once more on the next days tasks. Looking around the cottage one can tell the home is filled with love event though it is may be small. Alone she sits drinking her tea.
