22 Days of Gratitude - Day 16: Washing Dishes

As I was washing dishes earlier today it was so quiet, I could hear my thoughts.  I was thinking about how such a simple thing as washing the dishes can become a mindful act of gratitude.  All it takes it recognizing that while it may seem like a small routine, even mundane things to do, it was so much more.  I thought about how fortunate I am to  have dishes.  It means I have something to put food on to eat.  It reminds me that I have food and for that I am grateful. Washing the dishes is a small way of taking care of that which I have been acquired.  And the comforting feeling when I put my hands into the warm soapy water and wash away the remnants of yet another meal washed over me.  

So in that moment as I finished the last of the utensils and pots and pans, I reminded myself that this is a ritual by which I can give thanks.  It becomes a mindful meditation rather than a "chore".  From this prospective, washing dishes is a form of worship of that which provides that which sustains us. 

Here's an interesting site that talks about how to wash dishes.  It is rather a science in many ways,
