I am in the middle of cleaning the tops of the cupboards and my oldest son, James, just came in, looked at what I was doing, and said, "Mom, I am so glad that you have the time today to clean the kitchen like you really want to. It makes it so much nicer. Thank you, and I will try to keep my stuff picked up, so I don't make extra work for you."
He is ten, and this attitude is such a blessing to me.
I would have never thought to say such a thing to my mom, and she was always cleaning something! As a child, I figured cleaning was her hobby.

A Clear Dinning Table
Several weeks ago I took the boys out for a drive in the forest. We stopped near the river to gather some of the first leaves to turn red. When we got home I arranged them on a small silver platter with a candle in the center and have been using it as a center piece ever since.
Today, I realized with astonishment, that after every meal and any other time possible, I have the table clear, enjoying the center piece! Another habit has been formed, and this one based on the whim of Autumn's beauty.
