The Beauty of Polishing Wood
Periodically it is time to do some house cleaning. In a home where the labor is divided, I get the opportunity to polish the wooden furniture. Yesterday was the day for the "great room". I received the greatest enjoyment from polishing the sofa table. You know, the one that sits behind a sofa that is positioned in the middle of a room. Our table is narrow and long. It takes on a beautiful shine. There is something about applying the polish and then rubbing it into the wood. The shine is spectacular. The wood grain pops right out at you.

Sometimes you just need to get back to the basic tasks to make you realize the life you lead is a good one. Something as simple as polishing the wooden table can remind us how good we have it now. Glad you could experience that.
