Sunday, 2 October 2005 - A good sweat

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for a good sweat brought about by good physical work.


Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat. ~Ann Landers

I spent the morning working in the garden - watering, spraying, trimming and mulching the plants. The sun was quite hot for fall - I think the high reached over 80 degrees F today.

Anyway, I worked up a good sweat carrying and dumping buckets of pine mulch here and there before crouching and smoothing the mulch around the base of each plant. T, our chocolate Lab and my constant companion, lay quietly in the shade, watching my every movement. He definitely preferred the role of spectator.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
