The Zen of yard work

The other day I was struggling with a few things going on that I had no control of.  I decide that I wanted to have this pity party all by my self and invite all my drama to free rent in my head.  I knew I had to break the cycle and do something about it.  Yard work always seems to be my biggest stress reliever so I decided to take on an epic rework of the yard.  This included completely gutting and rebuilding the flower beds, painting, sprinklers, organizing the garage, dump runs and so much more.  After 8 hours a day for a month the mammoth task was complete.  I must say the Zen of being focused on a physical activity definitely did the trick.  The yard looks great and the free rent I was giving to my drama is now a vacant lot with an amazing view.  Just FYI I can now sit back and enjoy my summer look out hammock!
