Getting started

# Chapter 341

Even crippled and hobbling along with my blown knee, you can still get stuff done albeit slower and less efficient. If I am not using my badly injured knee as an excuse to start vegetating on the couch watching YouTube and TikTok then neither should you. Yes of course I have a reason to sit on my keister and do cerebral stuff all day and I did exactly that all week long, but the grass, weeds and flowers are growing in your yard and they have no mercy. They care not that your knee hurts and that you are not able to walk without braces and crutches and canes. They are going to grow and take over your yard and in fact they won’t even take a break to celebrate your injury. So do something about it or be content with the consequences.

I don’t like the consequences so I got up and used the shovel and edger as my new cane and crutches and ever so slowly worked on the yard. Yes I only got a tenth as much done as I normally would have done at the price of twice the energy and effort that would have normally been expended, but I did it. And boy did I sleep well last night and wake up in a better place this morning. You can do this, getting started is the hardest part of almost every task in the world. Just put your leather gloves on and get moving however slowly. You can transform so much even if it goes much slower than usual and even if it comes with pain. You can do this.
