― William Shakespeare
Where I live,
we don't have individual washers and dryers, and instead rely on a communal
laundry room. That means that if you
don't get your clothes out of the washer or the dryer before the next person
wants to use the machine, you will find them in a heap on top of one of the
machines. When life gets
busy, I occasionally forget that I have a load to pick up.
Recently, in
the midst of a weekday scurry hurrying morning, I remembered that I had
forgotten to pick up a load from the dryer the night before. I ran to the laundry room, thinking about how
quickly I could pull the clothes out of the dryer without dropping random items
on the floor and race back to the morning routine. What I found instead was
my laundry folded in my basket with my husband's work shirts neatly spread out
on top to minimize wrinkling. I smiled
and grabbed my laundry basket, and marveled at the many opportunities there are
for kindness.
