‘Skeeters and hornets and ants! Oh my!

This has been such a busy week for me, so many projects on the go at one time.  I had so much work to do on the computer that I began to feel lethargic from being inside.  I found that being focused on getting the mundane stuff done really stifled my creative flow, and I felt lazy and ineffective.  So today, when the Universe presented me with a dry, sunny morning I decided it was time to tackle some outdoor stuff.  After our ritual weekend mid-morning breakfast, Marc and I both got to it, he on the John Deere and me removing some extraneous wire and post fencing.  It only took about half an hour being outside in nature for me to begin feeling energized.  Any notion I had of being lazy was out the window, and I felt once again like the hoss that I am.  I removed barbed posts from the earth, holding them triumphantly over my head once they would yield from their grip deep in the soil.  Feeling invincible, I tackled each task with gusto.  I pruned shrubs, pulled weeds, gathered fallen branches, moved patio furniture and hoisted load after load into the burn pile.  I was stung, bitten, poisoned and pierced, but not deterred.   We worked long and hard, and at the conclusion were rewarded with a brief but ever so lovely rain shower and accompanying cool wind, as if nature were congratulating us for a job well done.   Nothing beats that feeling of accomplishment after a day working out in nature!  Let’s hope I feel that way tomorrow when my muscles speak up.  Hope you are enjoying this wonderful weekend! NAMASTE!
