Shinny Sink

Okay you ask, "Why do you have a picture of your sink?"  Let me tell you.  About 2 weeks ago I started a program called the Flylady.  It is a cleaning program but goes so much deeper than that.  It helps with my protectionism, shows me why I have been living like I do, fills in a lot of questions about myself, teaches me to accept me for who I am, to enjoy life, to not get angry at the little things . . . in other words, I really do like the program.  I feel like it is helping me to be a better person for me and my family.

Well the Flylady's signature 1st step is to clean your sink, to make it shinny.  This you are supposed to do every night before you go to bed so that in the morning you are greeted with a clean sink.  And so for the past 2 weeks before I go to bed I have shined my sink. 

Last night I was tired,  I had not slept well the night before, was not myself all day, had the kids help me clean up before dinner because they went off to church, picked the kids up from church, was still exhausted put them to bed and then me to bed.  I didn't shine my sink!!

So this morning as I came into the living area to have my scripture study I glanced over at the kitchen and the kitchen had been straightened, the dishwasher unloaded, and MY SINK WAS SHINNY!!  I almost cried at the sweetness of my husband.  He already has so much on his plate and yet after getting home from church, he sees something that is important to me that I was just too tired to do and did it for me.  That my friends is "true love."

I hope and pray that my children and everyone on this earth can be as happily married as I am.  Derek is my best friend, the love of my life, my soul mate, so perfect for me.  We compliment each other so well.  He is the greatest blessing Heavenly Father could have ever given me.  I am so grateful for him.
