Just Like Riding A Bike (17 years later...)

“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.” ~ Margaret Thatcher

Imagine standing in front of your yard, overgrown and untamed, knowing something had to be done.?This happened to me Saturday afternoon after going non-stop all week long up to this moment.

When I was six years old, my dad taught me how to mow. How do I remember? Because he told me to stay away from the concrete edge of the driveway or I'd bust the mower blade. And that is exactly what I did - trying to get that one bit of grass that wouldn't go down. ??

Fast forward 30-ish years, pregnant with my son,?we decided to hire someone to mow our yard.??Sheer bliss! And I've been enjoying that blessing every summer for the last 17 years!

But then...our Superman Yard Angel took his first vacation ever.?

The decision was easy but scary. I was ready to embrace this challenge not fully trusting that my muscle memory or mowing skills would come rushing back after lying dormant for so?many years.

The next two hours were filled with such joy that it surprised me! Thinking about all the yards I've mowed, smelling the freshly cut grass, feeling the sun on my face, listening to fun playlists to help keep me moving, and having gratitude for my mind, body and spirit. I felt strong and confident and accomplished!

Whether you're returning to old job responsibilities, picking up a hobby you let go, or facing a task you've avoided for way too long, come at it with ultimate TRUST in yourself. Know that you have everything you require to get the job done!

TAKE ACTION:?Think about a task or skill you haven’t touched in years. It might be daunting at first, but embrace it. Rediscover what you once knew and let it remind you of your innate capabilities and strengths. Most of all, have fun with it!?

Make it a strong day! ??????
