Just when I thought it was going to be a quiet day, I found it to be a quite the opposite.   I don’t really mind the sound of the   small toro lawn mower, especially when I don’t have to listen to Nancy singing along with her  AirPods.   It is rare that Nancy doesn’t have her AirPods plugging her ears when she mows, even with the small lawn mower.   Yesterday, was one of those exceptions.   I was outside for about 50% of her long mowing day.    Sometimes my pacing indoors just gets too annoying for Greg until I finally win my plea to be outside.

Believe it or not, Nancy was only planning to do part of the lawn the other day, until motivation kicked in gear!  This leads me to a quote we read this morning from Lisa Roers (Sunshine Café Podcast).  says, “So…..remember that ANY action will help you make progress.   And progress is better than perfection any day, because progress is sustainable, and perfection is not!”    Oh yes, how often I have heard  Nancy say to students, “don’t wait until you have 30 minutes to practice, practice even if 10 minutes for that is better than nothing!”    At that same moment, I remind her that it is better to walk 10 minutes than none at all also.

Finally, this e-mail began over the weekend and here it is, already Monday.  It is beginning with mist in the air, accompanied by trees swaying gently with their new buds blooming.  I think that even the birds are sleeping in today?  I don’t see or hear the birds yet today.  You know what this means, I won’t be getting my bath yet today because, I can’t run around and dry off on a rainy day.

Remember, if you need a positive perspective on anything, just ask this dog- oh, that is me ya know!
