Stuff on my mind... in my heart, things that make me smile, laugh, think... What inspires me, confuses me, entertains me... I love this especially, from author Thornton Wilder: "We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." That, is perfect...

pain defines us...

I am hurting physically today, but I like it... It has been a busy, busy week or two, some home improvements going on, my son involved in his high school's homecoming, my daughter home from school this weekend. I took some time yesterday to move a bunch of wood that needs to be split up so that I can burn it over the winter... it was a good amount of wood, but it was a great fall day, overcast, on the cusp of wet weather moving in... I got the wood moved to where it needs to be, with the help of my beloved John Deere... I so enjoy the feeling of tired achy muscles reminding me of a job well done. Now, I am off to be further productive, whilst my two tired seedlings begin to wrestle with the light of the day... albeit five hours after that light has arrived.

This pain I can live with... and don't mind pondering or reliving... it's all good.

  1. or perhaps what we do with the pain defines us? good morning... how was your weekend? more work? more cruelty to your body by splitting wood and stuff? ;-)

  2. What we do with the pain definitely defines us... My weekend was good, very full... got the pool drained, and tons of other stuff done, and am in the final stages of getting the kitchen put back together... now it will take 6 months for everyone to get used to where everything else is now... Weather has changed to cool, colors are changing, life is flying by... I hope that you had a great weekend, and have even a better week ahead... take care
