I remember when I lived in Silverlakes, my sister's house was always messy (having four kids terrorizing it day in and day out has that effect). But I LOVED being over there. Every day I would make excuses to walk into her house and just hang out. We'd end up chatting and laughing over a cup of hot tea, or loudly singing songs on her karyoke machine. I guess the point is, when I'm looking back on her house, I don't think about the dirty dishes, or the stained carpet, or the weeds in the backyard; I just think about all the good times we had and how warm and welcoming it always felt being over there. I myself am TRYING to be more relaxed when it comes to my not-so-ideal house, my old dirty car, etc., but it takes time to grow up and realize that material possessions are miniscule in the larger scope of life.
