Excellent reflections, fan.
Especially about cleaning the toilet! Little things count. I would always get upset with my sister when it was time to do the dishes. She would be out on top of the chicken coop, singing as though she were on a stage. LOL!
She turned out to be an excellent vocalist, BTW. (But the dishes still counted!)
And most of us lead "little lives," which is why St. Therese of Lisieux is so popular. She's my daughters' favorite saint.
The Little Way, for the uninitiated.
