See, keeping house involves a list of repeated activities that are completed predictably over, and over, and over. You always hear people complain about the repeated picking up of toys, or endless mounds of laundry. But I think that’s the beauty of it. The cumulative years of those daily activities: cooking dinner, folding laundry, tidying up all matter. In a frantic, unpredictable world, these monotonous chores and exercises are comfort and stability. Your family will remember these cyclic, domestic activities and whether or not you were cheerful or disgruntled about them. You may as well be cheerful, because they are not going away. As the keeper of my house, I hold the Power of the Mundane in my hands. I have the power to shape my family’s sense of “this is how life is.”
