Mow The Grass

Mowing the grass. If you are a long time recipient of My Thots, you know this is not my favorite thing to do, but I have managed to deal with it for a long time. Everywhere, from that acre plus when I lived in the country and was surrounded by snakes, to here, where I have a little patch of grass just before the ridge does a twelve foot drop down the mountain, has needed mowing.

It is the true test.

I have discovered that if I find myself smiling while I am mowing the yard, I am in the right place. In fact, smiling has become my litmus test for living. If I am not smiling, I need to step back and reconsider.
