Perspective

I get to wash the dishes.

I get to clean and tidy my home as I see fit.

I get to fold and put away the clean laundry.

I get to raise our beautiful children.

I get to take care of my spouse and their needs.

I get to work to earn an income.

I get to stay home with the children.

I get to clean up the dirty fingers, the spills and the toys on the floor.

I get to pay the bills, to keep the lights on, the water flowing and the fridge full.

I get to help to cultivate and create a better future for our children.

I get to fix the mistakes that have been made in the past, whether or not I took part in making them in the first place.

I get to love, make mistakes, grow, learn.

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

– Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost
