I feel like I got nothing done today.
And yet, I did get some stuff done: It’s just not the stuff that makes it feel like I’m advancing things forward in my own life.
But, hey, at least I’m getting some wishlist things going for some of my Hill family members. π I spent a good chunk of the day, in addition to servicise, working on clearing out trees and brush and vines down by the deck.
So much to clear!
But it’s warming Liz’s heart to see it being cleaned up, as she has lots of memories of my step dad being down there, and it’s also making it possible for Jim to get what he wants done–make it easier to take care of on the future using the brush hog, and open up spots to put set up for RV stations–something like that at least.
So after a decent morning routine, that was the day, pretty much. π
I’m grateful that, so far, I have managed to keep any poison Ivy oils off my skin. π₯³
I’m grateful for my little battery operated chainsaw. It’s absolutely perfect for this kind of stuff. Does everything I need it to do–cutting vines, saplings, and small trees, even medium-sized trees. π₯³
I’m grateful that Jim is onboard with a bonfire by the deck instead of having to haul all the brush up to the upper pasture for a bonfire there.
I’m grateful to have been calm and at ease all day today–so much so that I forgot most of my troubles! πΆ
I’m grateful that my back issues seem to be improving a bit as I have been more active lately. And for whatever reason, my back feels better after riding on the lawnmower for a while. π
I’m grateful that I’ve been able to keep my morning routine, so far. It’s just will power and discipline for me, since I have no wife or kids or things that would make it a lot harder/less realistic, but I’m grateful to have been able to do this for a little bit now.
I’m grateful that though I’ve felt a much stronger pull toward things I’ve cut out of my life and toward addictions I’m trying to overcome, I’ve been fighting them off, and I’m winning today. π₯³ GTG
Off to bed. G’night y’all.
Love and hugs. π
Lift the world.
