It's easy to know if the plate I'm washing is my grandfather's — it will have no food left. My younger brother is the opposite — there's always food left over. The feel of warm water and the dish soap on dinner plates always comfort me a lot at the end of a busy day.
About a year ago, our family dishwasher broke. My dad had just left for a work trip, so I offered to do the dishes by hand to help my busy mum.
At first, doing the dishes greatly annoyed me. I was in a rush to get them done because there was endless work waiting for me to do. However, slowly, the task of washing off food leftovers soon led to a transformation in me. So even when we did finally buy a new dishwasher, I still kept washing the dishes by hand after dinner.
I always start with the dinner plates. I have learned to turn them over and wash the bottom. Then I move to any bowls that have been used. After the bowls, I turn to the dishes used to cook.
Standing in the same place every day, washing the dishes by hand has been more calming and meaningful than I could have ever imagined. For about 15 minutes every day, I can slow down and forget everything in the world as my mind, eyes and hands focus on(专注于) a simple task that would always result in success. Now I'm able to get myself out of all my worries and put myself more wholeheartedly into enjoying the simple task.
①I enjoyed doing the dishes. ②We got a new dishwasher.
③I did the dishes in a hurry. ④I decided to help my mom.
