Amazing how yard work can ground a person.  Perhaps not everyone, but there's something very satisfying about being outdoors and watching things all come together.  Now mind you, my home is nothing close to a home in Sunset Magazine or Better Home and Gardens, however it's the space where I live and it matters... to me.
Also interesting is the fact that I do alot of thinking when in the yard.  Today I think I realized that I will most likely venture though my life with my child, my siblings, and friends.  Relationships have never been a thing that blossomed into anything more than dating for me.... but hey, good friends and close friends are good.   I'm not sure how that feels to be alone, because I never really am alone - there's always family and friends.   Some interesting thoughts this day.  Enlightening actually.
I did realize today that I prefer working outdoors vs. indoors.  To clean floors, vacuum, dust, clean mirrors, etc. has taken me all day - I just have a difficult time getting into that (LOL).  But progress has been made.  Half my day is gone and I have made a dent, a little dent, but it's forward momentum.  Now I rest, perhaps a warm bath, and some relaxation at home.  Now that sounds inviting. 
Yard work vs. House work?  Hmmmmmm I guess it's how you look at things, really neither are that bad once one gets going.
