I have found that as I have gotten older I just don't want to waste too much time doing things that no one sees but me. I used to be such a good housekeeper but I find that most people don't see the things that I see in my own home. I would much rather be walking my dogs or reading a good book or doing yoga and tai chi...things that really enrich my life! So, I make my bed, clean the kitchen every day and the rest gets done when I get to it. It is just me and DH so not a whole lot to clean.
