Time to Break Out
Get Physical
It is o.k. to stay in and write
As long as you get exercise your body needs
Find ways when you are not reading or writing hubs
Today was a day I had to move
The weather is so beautiful
I decided to stay in our yard
First I sprayed myself with bug spray just in case
An unwanted visitor decided to bug me
I started with a little weeding
Then watering all the plants around our home
Then I decided to transplant a few plants to other places
There was a tree that took root under the back deck
I first tried to dig it up and with no success
I cut it off as low as I could go
Then covered it with small rocks
To see if that will kill it
With no sun no water maybe it will die
Raking leaves that got tucked way underneath
I went out at 1:30 and came in at 7:30
That's six hours of non stop bending, lifting and pulling
So glad to come in and strip down and hop into a nice shower
I ate a wonder supper and now I can rest again
I took a couple of Aleve
To take the edge of any sore body parts
It was great to get down and digging in the dirt
A sense of man close to nature
One with the world of living plants
Even though I could do so many other things
I am glad I went outside and could smell the flowers and the fresh air
Feeling the rich earth in my hands
Drinking Gatorade to stay hydrated
Giving me time to think and unwind from any problems that have surfaced
Hoping to return with a new perspective
With an inner power that is refreshed and ready to take on every challenge
That is how I deal with life
