Lawn Care and the Y (and my Wonderful Husband!)

Day 5 of 30:

Today, I am sooooooooooo thankful for my husband. He used his day off from work to come with me to work at 6:30 am b/c it was my day to mow the grass (we have to upkeep our grass/weeds at work). A co-worker and I were on the schedule to mow today, and Howie came to help us. We got done MUCH quicker than expected because of Howie's help. But I'm also thankful for this particular co-worker too. Let's just say she lives up to her name (Joy) and is an answer to the prayers Howie and I prayed while I was job searching. She's definitely a blessing in a job that at times can be incredibly challenging. Another thing to be thankful for? When you do lawn care you get to leave early...so I got to spend the whole day with my husband. I loved it!

While this isn't something I'm thankful for (yet...I'm really working on finding the good) it's been a very hard week at work. Today was a nice break from being in the office doing my normal stuff. But because of the recent stuff at work, I've been feeling more stressed and often exercising at the Y helps me feel better. It's a great time to watch tv (we don't have cable so I at times, will strategically plan my trips to watch my favorite shows) and/or listen to a mix of some of my favorite songs. God definitely has given me the discipline I asked for to stick with the Y. Exercising helps me sleep better, feel better, and it's a great way to get my energy/stress out.

Today even had a "cherry on top" to make it even better- I can log my push-mowing time in my Y stuff which means I got points for mowing at work. Not too bad.
