Grime - by: Jane Kifer

I'll admit it, I don't like dealing with it! GRIME! Slime. The yuck under your stove, top of the fridge, the walls!??!?!? When my old amazing antique Wedgewood stove broke and a repair man came, he pulled it out to deal with it and he looked at me and slowly uttered with his southern draw, "Y o u, maht want to take dis oppOtunity to deal wi dat." As I looked at him, paused and turned my head in the direction he nodded towards, I saw the GRIME. The dust and built up YUCK from tenants ago that wasn't even mine! Not only was I carrying my junk in my home, but other people's junk too! EEEEWWWWW, I scraped, wiped, cleaned and did it all again. He patiently worked and waited and once I felt it was clean, he pushed the very old stove back. JUST WIPE IT! This is a lesson I definitely need to tell myself! It literally is a reflection. What do we allow on our surface, in the eves of our psyche? At our foundation? Interesting to consider. Jane Kifer
