Dust If You Must, But Wouldn't It Be Better...

Ahhh another weekend came and gone!!! How did we get to mid-April so fast?? (>.<)"

I usually do most of my household chores and cleaning during the weekend since our weekdays are pretty full. I'm not really a domestic goddess so other than folding laundry and vacuuming {both which I find strangely therapeutic}, I loath doing household chores.

Came across this poem though, which really just reminded me that time just flies by and we should make the most of it... at the end of a long and dusty week, not everything always needs to be in it’s place.

So rather than be stuck at home doing mundane stuff, off we went to watch The Huntsman: Winter's War movie {so good! go catch it if you haven't!!}, swim at the club, shop for new gymwear at Decathlon, eat Pow Sing chicken rice and walk at our neighbourhood pasar malam this weekend instead ♥  

Not that living in an unkempt home is great, but don't people say that we shouldn't mind the mess, as the family is making memories?? hahaha

*****

Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go {and go you must}
You, yourself, will make more dust.
