……. grateful for push-ups.. yesterday I decided that my human needed the gift of physical exercise.. it wasn’ta whole lot, and yet it felt great just knowing I set that time aside to give it exactly that.. sometimes it’s clear what’s needed and I put it off until it becomes very clear.. like when I don’t drink enough water on a hot day..

……. grateful for rising slowly.. mama used to say “bul-dduk!” Which means  something like “git!” Or “rise and shine!”.. it always felt so jarring to wake up that way.. though I admit that the ability to switch my state to alertness at a moments notice is useful.. this morning I awoke at 3am to water a berm, and then to right back to sleep, and my mind said, “nah, let’s just stay awake and think and stuff..”.. so I laid there thinking about many things which could not be addressed until later in the morning.. basically causing a bit of mild anxiety.. so instead I decided to smile and relax into the morning, telling myself “hey, if I lay awake thinking, let’s think smiley thoughts.. set down the thoughts of control or worry, for now..” one hour later, here I am slowly rolling out of bed to start the day.. and I have time to fit in some stretching and a glass of water.. it’s going to be a great day.. :)

……. This week, we’re watering the gardens and trees extra because of the heat..

……. grateful for tough times.. my uncle told me once “tough times don’t last; tough people do..” I certainly don’t consider myself a tough guy.. but I hope that I help build character each day, in myself and potentially in those around me.. thanks uncle, for encouraging words..

……. grateful for perspective.. “with every crisis comes opportunity..”.. yesterday I was eating American bbq with J and they had something called “Annie’s special sauce”.. pretty tasty actually; it was my favorite of the sauces.. turns out Annie made a mistake by adding too much cayenne.. anyway here’s some pics..

……. grateful for “Begin Again”.. it’s always nice to rise slowly and begin the day with positive and refreshed perspective.. what’s on the horizon? Stewardship, for me.. how about you?
