This book strives to reset our mindsets. Society teaches us that to be a “good” person/parent/spouse we should have a neat, clean house. The author suggests that a neat, clean house is not an issue of goodness or badness; it‘s a functional issue. We aren‘t meant to be the servant to house. It is supposed to serve us. With that change in mindset, the goal is no longer perfection but function. On days when parenting, chronic pain, work, etc keeps ⬇️

Texreader us from completing a chore list or just picking or cleaning up, then do just what you need to do to make your house function for you. If you are up to doing more, great! But let go of the moral self-talk that you are not a good person if the stove isn‘t wiped down, or you skip a load of laundry. The author provides numerous suggestions on how to tackle tasks. This is a good book that anyone who keeps home should read for their own wellbeing. 23h

Another treasure discovered via Katherine May‘s newsletter. Musicians have submitted a petition to have Los Cedros Cloud Forest (which already has legally established personhood) recognized as a co-creator of their song. It features “frogs, birds, the slowed down echolocating frequencies of bats & vibrations from the mycorrhizal networks of a newly discovered fungus.”

Deblovestoread I love “resetting”. I reset a few kitchen cupboards yesterday. 😀 2w
AmyG This is great. 2w
lil1inblue This book is so simple, yet it was a lifesaver when I was dealing with an illness for several years. I cannot recommend it often enough! 2w
GingerAntics I‘m loving “good enough is perfect.” 2w

Care tasks are morally neutral. Being good or bad at them has nothing to do with being a good person, parent, man, woman, spouse, friend. Literally nothing. You are not a failure because you can‘t keep up with laundry. Laundry is morally neutral.

TheBookHippie So necessary to learn. 2w

Thanks for giving me grace to sit and read rather than thinking as I sit, “I should be doing this ...“

triplem80 I really appreciated this book...it enabled me to give myself grace, which can be so hard to do! 2w
GingerAntics I‘m seeing a lot of things that for some reason, by some crazy people, have been assigned moral value when they are not moral issues at all. Can we stop that? Who are these people? They are hurting everyone and ruining everything. 2w

My joys:

1. Finished “Enchantment” - tagged. Such exquisite writing and a beautiful reminder to notice wonder in your every day.

2. I got a new job! I‘ve been working as a marketing copywriter for 15 years - most recently at John Deere. I recently go head hunted by Bobcat and cannot wait to start! Gonna be amazing.

3. The sun this morning!

4. Made pasta!

5. Watched “No Taste Like Home with Antoni Porowski” - highly recommend!
