Chop Wood, Carry Water

Scroll this

Shoutout to God for all the nudges, the lessons, and the grace that’s guided me onto this path of joy, health, peace, and well-being.

Feeling sore today, but it’s the good kind of sore. The kind that reminds me of progress.

Not long ago, a couple hours splitting firewood like I did yesterday with Alex wouldn’t have even been an option because of all the health challenges I was dealing with. But here I am, swinging that axe and stacking the rewards of effort.

Still a ways to go, but we made a solid dent in the wood we gathered a couple of months ago.

“Chop wood, carry water”, they say.

Sometimes, that’s exactly what life is…

one swing,
one step,
one day at a time.

And I’m grateful for every bit of it.
