As we know.......biting the bullet refers to taking on an unpleasant task that you have been avoiding.....well that is on deck for me today.......I am literally drowning in yard work lol;-) I keep up on mowing and weed wacking what I can with my silly little weed wacker, but it is a lot of yard to keep up with amid my other responsibilities.....I have a great big garden that sweeps the center of my yard which is really cool, but right now there are STILL leaves choking it out......embedded in the bushes.......I did a bunch awhile back, but there are still so many......so today the weather is supposed to be nice....not too hot......sunny, and it is time to bite the bullet and put a full day in out there.....and there is a part of me that feels resistant to it.....I am not afraid of hard work......and I like to do yard work.....find it gratifying....I think the amount of work is what is challenging me......my dad must have read my mind, and felt my vibe, because when we got back from Claws and Paws yesterday he was weed wacking the turkey mound, and out by the road for me with his powerful equipment:) there are a ton of rocks by the road making mowing out there challenging.....but it needed to be done, and the turkey mound can't be mowed so that was a huge help......so grateful for him:) and maybe my resistance comes from the feeling of loneliness in this specific task.....doing yard work with your partner.....even if you are sorta doing your own thing while doing it, hits a little differently than solo......I like working with somebody as a team and accomplishing a task.......and really I wish I could hire a crew to come, and accomplish my entire honey do list lol:) but if it will be it is up to me;-) so today is the day......gonna dig in.....push past my resistance.....and get as much done as I can......enjoying the sunshine while I do it.....kids will be happy to play outside...ride bikes etc.....I also think there is a part of me that doesn't want to waste a gorgeous day on tasks like this.....but know that I need to take advantage of the lack of heat and humidity.....and the favorable weather......that was a big barrier for me in July.....so as with so many things.....mindset is the key....shifting my mindset surrounding it all......being grateful for my able body and my ability to accomplish what I want to......not being able to do physically would be really challenging for me.......and the fact that I can is a gift......I know that....:) I also love my yard.....it feels like a park sometimes when it is all shined up:) So there is that too.....it will feel like something when it is accomplished.....I also need to spruce up my deck.....the rain and stuff falling from the trees has made its mark.....I need to scrub my outdoor cushions and let them dry and just take care of it all......so biting the bullet it is;-) Looking forward to that end of day tired you only get when you put in a hard days work.....there is something to that too......wish me luck;-)
