One morning last week I got up early and weeded the flower bed. Then I got the weedeater out and trimmed the alley. It was early, but I was still sweating so much. But it made me feel good. This is my land. It’s my flower garden with herbs that smell so good and are so great to cook with. And during that time I wasn’t faced with my normal work, which allowed for some much needed space.
Last Friday night I didn’t sleep well. It had been a long week, and I thought I would sleep so well. Instead, I woke up at 2am and never went back to sleep. So by the time Saturday afternoon rolled around I was pretty tired. So I decided to move both vehicles into our back yard where there’s more shade, and then for two hours while listening go some good music, I cleaned them out, vacuumed them, and washed them. Again, much sweat. But it felt good to to work hard and to know that I was taking care of the things that I have.
I wouldn’t normally think that work like this fills my tank, but it truly did.
