GRATEFULNESS

• I am grateful for a flexible schedule – yesterday I had a chance to mow the lawn challenged with 3 things”
  1. beating the rain that was on its way
  2. beating an inevitable #2 that was also on its way, but not quite ready for prime time
  3. an almost empty tank of gas that had I run to the gas station #1 and #2 would have commenced and no lawn mowing
• I am grateful for opportunity and fate – chewed up a lot of my time yesterday but may save my pavilion project – explain more later
