YEAR OF ZEN: SUMMER: DAY 59

Christ in the House of Martha and Mary - Pieter Aertsen

Q: Who sustains you?

A: I think that one of the reasons the Kichas household is usually in balance (and often harmony) is because of the shared division of labor between Sarah and I that makes things manageable. We both cook and find joy in that activity. I do the bulk of the weekly house cleaning while she keeps an eye on clutter building up. We tag team laundry and Sarah cares for the garden of houseplants that now provide beauty and peace to our home. Oh, and those pesky children and pets get our shared attention as well!
