\nNOW,<\/span><\/span><\/strong> when people visit, <\/span><\/span>I don’t have to explain<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>“condition”<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>of my <\/span><\/span>home<\/span><\/span> .
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nThey are more interested in hearing about the things I’ve been doing while I was away living life and having fun. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>
\nIf you haven’t figured this out yet, please heed this advice <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Life is short. Enjoy it!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nDust if you must . . . <\/span><\/span>but wouldn’t it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, <\/span><\/span><\/span>bake cookies or a cake<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>and lick the spoon or plant a seed,<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>ponder the difference between want and need!<\/span><\/span>
\nDust if you must,<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/strong>but there’s not much time …<\/span><\/span> <\/span>with beer to drink , rivers to swim and mountains to climb<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. <\/span><\/span><\/strong> Dust if you must,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> but the world’s out there with the sun in your eyes,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>the wind in your hair,<\/span><\/span>a flutter of snow, a shower of rain. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nAnd when you go – and go you must – you, yourself will make more dust!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\nI JUST DID.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
