Thankful for Not Fighting, Space for Home Improvement, & Working Outside with Gavin

Day 3,531

Growth:

There was an interesting quote Roald Amundson shared that he’d learned from his father when he was a child. I don’t remember it verbatim, but it was along the lines of “don’t fight if you don’t have to.” This wasn’t fist fighting, rather along the lines of allowing nature and gravity to pull as they will and utilize that force rather going against it.

That nugget stuck in my head all day today and helped me act accordingly in a few situations.

Appreciation:

Making space to work on a home improvement project has been both therapeutic and rewarding. With no more sporting events until the fall it’s nice having the evening to get work done around the home. Throw in the bonus time it creates with Gavin (see below) and it’s been awesome!

Presence:

Working outside with Gavin, sharing some of the same things I learned from Dad back in the day, joking and laughing, and somehow still getting a lot more completed than I’d expected. Moments of work together like tonight are the ones that bring smiles for years and years.

Thanks!!!
