Has anyone ever thought about the virtue of using a broom instead of a vacuum?
Well today was one of those days for #farm-mom. I constantly think of ways to save energy, not so much for the money, but for our environment.
While doing the simple act of cleaning the house, I realized that using a broom was not only good for energy conservation , it was good for my soul.
With some really fine country music in the background, I found myself really enjoying, the swish swish of my simple broom.
The chore was peaceful, no loud buzz of the vacuum. No heavy machine to push around or wire to trip me up. It was simple, effective and meditative. The cleaning of my floors was suddenly a peaceful pleasure, a relaxation of sorts that I never truly appreciated until today.
I guess it's all about perspective. All at once, that simple swish, swish of that broom, calmed me, made me think about my life. Simple is better, a step back is cool and a broom can be a soother with it's swish, swish.
Life can be simple, if we take the time to listen to...swish, swish.
Sending hugs!!
