Homekeeping Benefits

"Seen from the outside, housework can look like a *sisyphean task that gives you no sense of reward or completion.

Yet housekeeping actually offers more opportunities for savoring achievement that almost any other work I can think of.

Each of its regular routines brings satisfaction when its completed. These routines echo the rhythm of life and the housekeeping rhythm is the rhythm of the body.

Morning Reflections by Sandra Kuck

You get satisfaction not only from the sense of order, cleanliness, freshness, peace and plenty restored, but from the knowledge that you yourself and those you care about, are going to enjoy these benefits."
