Relaxation

Something strange happened to me this week. Mom, are you ready for this? I found myself weeding for relaxation. After an extremely stressful day away from my garden in front of a lot of check boxes on a screen, I came home and found myself on my knees in the dirt telling myself, "No, you can only pull weeds until 8:00." I was sure that something in the universe was awry until a few days later on Saturday morning I decided that I'd had enough weeding after an hour. It seems like there are an exorbitant amount of weeds in our vast acreage.

My garden is my sanctuary. Today before Church I just sat out there and listened to the birds and the Sunday morning neighborhood stillness. Peace poured into my heart.
