Outside the Box

I just wanted to encourage you all to think out of the box this week. I was feeling overwhelmed with my yard - I have quite a big yard to mow. Anyway, after 23 years of mowing the front yard the same way I decided to change directions and go longways across the front lawn. I was now not going up hill and fighting the lawn, I was going with the grain (so to speak) rather than against the grain. Boy I mowed the lawn in 7 minutes or less - it looked great! I always thought I had to mow it the other way (up hill), because it would look better. I found out it looked just as good if not better plus it was easier!

Life is so full of surprises. It is the little things in life that truly make us happy. Isn't it funny how one simple little thing made my life so much easier and happier this week!  Yea!!! that is what I'm talking about! I welcome your thoughts and experiences so please share. I think I will try to use this same metaphor for trying to meet a companion. What do you think?   Beverly
