therapy*

i go to therapy. 
a few times a week.
but i don't see a counselor.

it's laundry.
i hang my laundry on the line.

and it's like therapy for me. 
it used to frustrate me.
how long it took to hang everything up.
one
by
one

but now i actually enjoy it.
i'm not sure what happened along the line for me to get where i am
but it's soothing.
repetitive. 
and sometimes (most times) i'm a little ocd about it.
i hang all the shorts first.
then the tees.
and sometimes i colour co-ordinate them as i hang them.
it's my little system. 
i think it's something i can accomplish and tangibly see results.

today is a perfect day for laundry.
sunny.
windy.

a perfect day for therapy.


*please don't misunderstand and think i am making fun or light of therapy or conditions like ocd. i realize there are reasons to go to therapy. hanging my laundry helps me clear my mind and feel relaxed. it is therapeutic for me. thanks.

  2. probably therapeutic since you've had children. The mundane becomes a little bit more enjoyable eh?
