Fire fighters are busy people.
They don't just fight fires.
They rescue people. They educate people to be safe.
They don't have a lot of down time because when they are not fighting fires, they are preparing their tools so that the next time they have to step up, they are ready and able to respond immediately.
They work very long hours. Under a lot of stress.
Geez, it sounds like a similar job description to homemaker!
So today, think of yourself as a fire fighter.
If you have fires to put out, get at it. Be organized, tackling it in the way the will offer success. Remember you are part of a team, you don't have to do it all yourself - there are spouses, family members, appliances that can do work for you, people you can hire to help. And for those who believe in a higher power, there is the Mystery to call upon to give you the focus, courage, and strength you need.
If you have recently fought fires, remember sticking around, watching for embers to reignite is a part of fire fighting. Make sure everything is isolated so that it can't use other items as fuel when it reignites. Be ready to fully finish the job.
If you are done with fires, prepare yourself and your home to respond to the next fire.
Yes, you'll have a busy day but remember, here in this village, Homemakers are as admired as fire fighters!
