Writer’s Note: For those of you that know me, you know that sometimes the most simple things delight and amaze me. Today’s focus is dust. Join me in showing those little dusty, dirty-looking, but most lovable particles the respect they deserve! May a little dust brighten up your day! Happy Hump Day!

Hey, this just in from Uncle John’s Bathroom reader (never mind why I was reading it): Did you know the sky is actually not blue, but black? That dust particles and droplets of moisture in the air reflect sunlight to make it blue? See there, even things we think are just a pain–like dust–have a greater purpose. Hmmm…and we came from dust and to dust we will return. I have a new respect for dust. I almost feel guilty for owning pledge.
