Voila! Like magic the front yard was transformed into a thing of beauty! That is if you define magic by a handful of friends each swinging by at different points in a day to help you move dirt, plant greenery, and move more dirt.

How I managed to pull off 8-hours of working in the sun is a mystery. How I managed to get my body out of bed today, the day after, even a greater mystery. Heck, I’ll take what ever good comes my way!

A burst of energy is a treat. Using it to do some manual labor felt good. Working hard with a group. Being an active participant in a work party. Taking the same number of breaks as everyone else. Feeling and acting like the person I want to be. Satisfied with my ability to output.

Yes.  Satisfied with myself. Now that is magical.
