Sweeping: the new yoga


Sand gets all over the place. We do live in a dessert after all. But no really, our office, our apartment. It's impossible to by lazy about keeping the floors clean and anything that makes it hard to be lazy, I don't like.

But it's also a good think because it forces you to stop what your doing and focus one task, focus, something I do need. But think about it. There are things you can do quickly and get them over with like taking out the trash, picking up your mail, mopping. But you can't sweep quickly or the dust and dirt will fly everywhere. So you have to take it slow.

So, thank you Bahraini dirt for making me slow down and focus on you. It gives my brain a break and is very calming.

Another nice calming thing is erasing chalk boards, but white boards have killed that activity. Just realized, swiffers are the death of brooms. Soon things will be so efficient that there will be no room for any sort of mental break.
