I often complain that doing the dishes is my least favorite chore, especially in the summer. Who wants to have their hands in hot water when it's 80 degrees in the kitchen because the oven has been on? I just want to relax after cooking and eating - sit on the couch with Tyler and watch TV.
I've been doing a lot better about the dishes recently. I've decided to no longer consider leaving a sink full of dishes for tomorrow as an option and that has worked pretty well. Doing today's dishes today really does save a lot of trouble. A few minutes of chores here and there saves a lot of time and effort later. Such common sense, I know.
I found this Amish wisdom somewhere in the blogosphere this morning and it is most definitely worth sharing. For me, it's worth printing and hanging up near my kitchen sink. I hope it inspires and humbles you, too.

Dirty Dishes
Thank God for dirty dishes,
They have a tale to tell
While others may go hungry,
We're eating very well
With home, health, and happiness,
I shouldn't want to fuss
For by the stack of evidence,
God's been very good to us.
