mowing
Last year I hated mowing. I was scared and overwhelmed by mowing. The grass kept growing and this new mowing chore would loom again and again, in the way of laundry and dishes when you’ve never had to take care of yourself before. (Thankfully M stepped up and did almost all of it. I’m very grateful.)
This year I’ve already mowed several times and I’m finding it entirely different. It feels like driving, or exercising; one of those activities where my mind can unhook and there’s room for new ideas to get in. A silencing, comforting task.

Great photo! I’m so happy for you. I don’t “get to” mow these days, but it used to make me feel sort of cool in a grown-up dad way.

Ramona turned me on to this – there’s a Lawn Mower Roomba!
