My back is achin' this morning, after a few hours yesterday slinging mulch. Man, those bags are heavier every year! As I was slinging, I kept thinking how nice it would be to have someone do this for me. But by the time I finished, that being a relative term, I was thinking how nice everything looks and what a good feeling that gave me. I find that doing hard labor like this occupies me totally. No thoughts about work. Nothing on the radar about other stuff that needs to be done. I guess this is what's known as living "in the moment." Very therapeutic. Especially as the work week begins anew.
