Vegibean The Lawn Mowing Extraordinaire!!!
Now that I have a yard to mow...........OMG!!! For all you guys out there, I give you props. I know through the history of men and women that has always been the "man's job" and I just did the front yard. I took three breaks while I did it because I thought I was going to die, LOL!!! I am really out of shape.
Great exercise.
All the while I'm mowing and really pushing myself because it has to get done, I kept thinking about how I would much rather mow my own lawn than go back to my old life. I really didn't get the best of husbands where my X is concerned but I would rather mow lawns everyday for the rest of my life than go back............he was a big, big trigger for me. I was so miserable in that marriage, I nearly drank myself to death over all the crap I felt......or didn't feel.
So glad my life has changed!! *****!!!!!!!!
It really means a lot to me when I look back and in the program and in recovery you hear a lot, "if nothing changes, nothing changes." Everything in my life has changed and while some of it is still a drag (like my new found lawn mowing career) I'm happy and grateful.
See? All I need is a yard, a lawn mower and this paddle ball game........and that's all I need. *SIGH*

You crack me up vegi..LOL
Mowin in that hot Florida sun calls for lots of breaks and lots of ice water..LOL
But it does feel rewarding I am sure.
Its funny the things that make us reflect on our life and make us grateful for the simple little things..Like mowing the lawn.
I did that alot when I was mopping floors in my POS job last year. I may not be making much money and have a crap job. But at least I had one and I was clean.
And I dont think I was ever so happy to mop a floor in my life.
Great post. Keep trucking sista! Or should I say mowing. LOL

There is nothing quite like the sense of achievement that comes with that first sober lawn mowing. Congratulations.
Seriously I'm glad to hear you have a lawn to mow and it is wonderful to hear how happy you are.
I had a question for you but.....I'll just get in line behind Dee.
