Naikan reflection day 1

This week I am supposed to choose a situation, event, relationship, etc. each day and write about these 3 three things: 1. What I received from it; 2. What I contributed to it; 3. What trouble I caused it.

Maintaining our home:

1. JJ has been doing a lot of laundry, organizing of toys , and almost all of the grocery shopping and yard work.

2. I cook, clean the kitchen, clean the bathrooms, keep things tidy, sort through stuff and try to get rid of stuff or keep it put away/organized, shovel snow, and take care of all recreation and social events.

3. I don’t have a deep passion for maintaining a clean home. I can see that a difference in levels of caring about this issue causes conflict. I can have piles of stuff that I mean to tend to, but I don’t always do that immediately. I also recognize that we have different levels of tolerance for stuff in our home. I wish we had a lot less stuff.
