Howdy folks. Care for a quick update? Of course you do!
Just finished my work on the farm. You know, chores like mowing the lawns, picking up fallen branches and tree limbs, and inspecting all the barns (there are 9 of them). I'm glad to report they are all empty. That's right. The Lord blessed the kids' business, and all of their winter hay is sold out. Time now to replenish the stock.
But today wasn't all work and no play. I began my day at the local Bojangles. It's where I do my daily Bible time. In The Sound of Music, Maria had her
- raindrops on roses
- whiskers on kittens
- bright copper kettles
- warm woolen mittens
- brown paper packages tied up with strings
Maria could have added Bo's coffee.
Then it was off to the gym for my lifting session. Yes, I look happy here. Working out is nothing but a delight.
It's a nice enough trail all right. Lots of bugs through. That's probably because it's so close to the Dan River.
As you can see, it was a lovely day for a walk.
Have you heard the old saying, "Life is not a dress rehearsal"? You have only one life to live, the one you're living right now. Think about that. How do you want to live it? If you don't make it happen, you're the one who has the most to lose. Not to mention the fact that the people around you have a lot to gain from you when you're the most fulfilled self you can be. Pick a goal. Big or small. Then go for it. Don't pine for things to be different. An extraordinary life is quietly waiting for you beneath all that is ordinary. It screams at us, STOP PUTTING IT OFF.
Life may not be tomorrow.
But it most certainly is today.
