I love this Jill! One of the things that I often hear as a response to The Hands Manifesto, is that domestic chores like washing up can be a very mindful place for some people. For me, it’s hanging out the washing. Probably something to do with my love of fabric 🤪, but also just being outdoors, stretching my body up and down, and listening to the birds.
Yes, hanging out the washing was always my favourite domestic chore, if I can use the word favourite in that context. But somewhere along the line, the laundry became Rob's job and it's now something I rarely do. Seemed silly to say 'but I want to do that!'.
I think it's a good thing to do and I like to think I'm getting better at it, but I often catch myself racing ahead to the next thing. (See comment above!)

Story of my life. But I am getting better. Thanks for the reminder.
I think it's easier said that done. (Says me, as I quickly check messages before rushing out to water the garden.)
Ah, I love this.
I also am trying hard to be mindful of all the things I do each day 🙏

Yes. I agree. Same.
