This morning
I grumbled
About doing
Farm chores
Yet the more
I did them
My muscles
Started to loosen
And my heart
Began to soften
Because even
As I felt discomfort
I began to
Feel gratitude
That I
Could still
Complete them
After a shower
Lunch
And sitting
On a comfy couch
My soul
Is rejoicing
That my sour mood
Didn’t deter
The blessing
I didn’t know
I needed
Beautifully said. You made lemonade out of lemons.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Regine. ♥
That's wonderful that you did farm chores today. I used to work on a vegetable farm when I was in junior high - picking, gathering, watering. It was much work, but a summer with great memories. Now, you can rest.

Love this reminds me of times at the ranch with my folks, long gone now. Homesick in a good way. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteWishing you many more beautiful days ahead!
There are so many blessings we don't know about!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear!
ReplyDeleteJust the other day, while out gardening, I gave thanks for being able to "garden" as it is very easy to take it for granted. I do try to also find the "joy" in every day, and I'll admit, some days it is very difficult.
ReplyDeleteGratitude you can still do them. It says it all!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you lived on a farm.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
