a good day

This morning as i was vacuuming I was looking at the clear tank in the front, that shows all the junk that you pick up out of your carpet and off the floors. I clean the tank out each time that I use it, and I am always amazed at what comes out of my carpet and off the floors. It doesn't look like there is that much dirt, but the tank on the vacuum says differently. I have dirt and according to the tank lots of it! It's like life, clean on the outside and yet the dirt is lurking beneath the surface nonetheless. (I love the word nonetheless, it just rolls off your tongue and sounds good too) I work hard at not letting any dirt build up in my life, and to deal with issues as they arise, however I am always amazed that when I pull out the vacuum, I always find that there is some dirt that comes to the surface that needs some attention.
Life is like that...messy, not always easy, but wonderful all at time. How is it that in the span of the last 11 hours I can have so many emotions and thoughts go through my mind? I rambled around my home, thoroughly enjoying my day while I cleaned in silence, changed the bed, scrubbed toilets, and sometimes talked out loud to God about my wonders and thoughts as I pulled weeds out in the yard and cleaned cob webs off of the house. All made perfect with a long talk catching up with my girlfriend.... It's funny how all those small things and sitting with a cup of tea in a quiet clean home can bring so much satisfaction.
Today was a good day!
