Moodling
Love these Gibson girl embroidery designs! She looks so smart and organized cleaning house, baking bread, doing laundry, and completing her tasks in a timely fashion.
Though I may set up a daily chore sheet in the future, for now my life flows with whims and fancies, in a delightful stream of 'moodling.'
What is moodling? Moodling is puttering, musing, a paragraph here, a poem there, straightening the bed, sending off a quick thinking-of-you ecard, changing the tablecloth, dusting a shelf. It's the hundred little things that keep the bliss-engine chugging forward. Moodling is my life occupation, far better than work!
When I Moodle and Stroll
About the Languid Hours,
Bliss comes to Visit Me
In Poems, Puttering, Flowers.
Forget the Dreaded Time-Clock
And your Watches, too.
I live on a Garden's Schedule,
Growing and blooming for you.

Yes, it's nice to move through Life in a state of Grace, outside the tick-tock world. I used to have a set of embroidered and fabric applique dishcloths with the same theme, one for each day of the week. I gave them to a sister who also loves them. Ah, the bliss-engine. I like that.
