Clean sheets on a tired night. Some of life’s best moments cost a load of laundry.
GRATITUDE
WHAT THIS MEANS
Pleasure and price are barely related. Getting into a clean bed when you are exhausted is close to the top of anything a day can offer, and the whole cost is detergent and remembering to do it. Comfort that cheap stops registering as comfort. It only becomes visible on the night you get it.
Change the sheets on a day you are not desperate, so the good version lands on a tired night later in the week. Notice who has been doing this for you and whether they get the same bed. Then do a load for somebody else without mentioning it.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Which cheap comfort do you look forward to at night?
MORE IN GRATITUDE & PRESENCE
- Look through old photos with your parents and ask who everyone is. Somebody needs to remember the names.
- If you’re named after somebody, ask about them. You’re carrying a story around every time someone says your name.
- Watch the streetlights click off one morning. It’s the town handing the shift over to the sun.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
