Non perfectionist

Today the morning  was pleasant but as sun grew up weather felt hot. Despite it’s raining here and there little bit our October is warm ☹️

After morning chores in the kitchen and reciting for an hour hubby and me took our morning tea. Then hubby left for groceries and I went to kitchen.  I had to make dough prepared for lunch time so I picked up the big pan ,pour the wheat flour in it without straining ( I don’t use strainer to keep the fiber saved .I started to  make  dough , and then I left it in the middle undone( I learned accidentally long ago that this way dough is made more soft and flexible),covered the dough pan and  turned towards the sink where freshly spoiled cups and tea pot were waiting to be washed. I started to wash them and suddenly I felt a smile inside my heart. I realised that I was never perfectionist in this business of dish washing ☺️  Actually while washing my aunt ( mom’s sister)and one of my sisters in law (hubby’s brother’s wife ) came into my mind . Both were considered best in keeping the dishes not just neat but very shiny . My aunt was kind of mad about keeping dishes untouched once they were washed by her . I would visit her once or twice a day when I was little till my mid teens ( she died before I was sixteen in childbirth) . I would see how she would rub her dishes intensely and will hide them away so no one can use them. She would do so when kids are around whether her own or visitors. Once they would leave she would take out and place them on their proper place. If any kid would come and try to grab the bowl to have water aunt would shout and run to stop. That would make me laugh always. Basically I wouldn’t understand why she was so obsessed with keeping dishes cleaned. And secondly I hadn’t seen my mom or other aunts doing so. 

After my marriage I observed same thing in one of my sisters in law . She seemed more concerned about dishes actually. She would rub them so hard that her cooking pots and dishes would get shrunk and holes soon. When she would visit me and ask me to rub dishes harder I would reply that I don’t think it’s necessary because I have cleaned them as much they were needed to be cleaned. I could feel she would not look happy about it. 

She surly thought how non perfectionist I was 😬 

So when it comes to dish washing I wash them until I find they are cleaned totally and that’s it . I don’t want to waste my energy and time on something which is not important to me. 

I don’t feel guilty for it but I wonder what you my wise friends think or say about it. Have you noticed someone with such extreme habit to do something?

Thank you for bearing with me in my simple world precious people 🥰🙏

God Bless You All !🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💕🥰
