Laundry Mat

Well who would have thought that I would ever have too visit the Laundry Mat? Well I sure didn't!
At first I was kind of judgmental, I know I am a terrible person. I thought I am not a bum on the street doing my laundry, I am not super poor, but as I sat there for three and a half hours I came to the conclusion, that I needed to be more positive and less judgmental. That these people could be living in an apartment were there was no laundry machines, or they could have just had their machines break like us, or maybe they can afford other things but not their own machines but, they have money to come do it at a laundry place.
It wasn't a waste after all. I got taught a lesson and I spent that time with my dad. He told me stories of his Grandma and of his childhood today. We talked about my old memories of living next door to my dad's eldest sister Linda and brother in law Jay and their family, in Malad Idaho. It turned out to be a pretty good afternoon even though I was tired and sore. So thanks Dad for a good time. And thank you Heavenly Father for still loving me even after my judgmental thoughts and loving me enough to teach me to be more understanding. Also softening my heart to be more kind and allowing my heart to go out to others.

  1. Not to mention being able to do 6 loads of laundry all at once is kind of a big plus. but still amazing when you can take a lesson from life.
