Ideally you will put yourself to good use somewhere.
If you’re stagnating in a sedentary job or activity, get up and move around for a while. Additionally, such usefulness is mutually beneficial in all cases. Since losing my day job last year, the occasional sense of usefulness to others has produced a buzz more potent than that of any narcotic. Both sets of neighbors bared a disproportionate sense of gratitude and relief on their faces, and I ended up with a solid amount of dry, seasoned maple firewood. Ten minutes later the branch had been dispatched, and is currently in my yard awaiting “processing” into useful, stackable pieces. Grabbing a ladder and a bow saw (I don’t own a chainsaw because I am ill-equipped to maintain one properly, and hate the noise), I raced expectantly to the scene. I leaped at the opportunity! Currently we are between flocks of chickens, and I have missed the simple chores performed outside every morning.Ĭrisp, cold air greeted me, along with a choir of songbirds. A large branch had fallen on her neighbor’s garage, and she wondered if I could take care of the problem. At the time I was sitting on my hindquarters while ingesting a healthy dose of coffee. The other morning I took a call from my neighbor. Preferably such labor will carry us into the great outdoors as well. Regardless of individual temperament, we all need to be regularly engaged in useful manual labor. I’m not talking about sitting at a desk pushing papers, tapping away at a computer, or chatting on the phone, either.
