This is part of the grateful series.

When I decided I’d be responsible for the dishes in our home, I never thought there’d be a time where I’d wish to do them.

Recently, I lost some ability, but I’ve now reclaimed them mostly.

Today, I was able to begin washing dishes again. It’s very fulfilling being able to deliver on your responsibilities, especially when you decide to take them on.

Without responsibility, I tend to question my worth. Responsibility gives me the illusion of purpose which, while isn’t permanent, is still important.

Responsibility cements some tangible value to existence as I’m part of a system that’s larger than myself.

It feels good to be able to do the dishes again.
