Back in feb.I had a valve replaced. I can take care of my body,but the heart is like a engine and I'm not good at engines! Recovery seemed like it took forever,but I am coming back strong. In fact I feel better now then I have felt in 5 years. I tell Grace that I start going backwards on my birthdays for at least the next 5 years!
The point being that I had to walk every day at least once. So dozi and I would walk down to the bridge every day,which lasted about a week. I told Grace we were going for a walk in the woods and took the walkie talkies,in case she needed me. From that day I realized I could see things again. Trees werent just trees and in a few days I was waking up happy every day,which I realized I hadn't done in years.
Back in 08,when the bottom fell out,my furniture just wasn't selling,so I decided to increase the size of my garden because people had to eat! It was good for 5 or 6 years, that's when I started "not waking up happy".
The picture is the first bench I've built in 11 years. It's simple, but it sits good and I am waking up happy. Some men can work the land or go to a factory every day. Others live off the land and never know what tomorrow brings, but they wake happy and tomorrow is always good
