Day 119 of Thanksgiving.....

119/246

Today I am so very Thankful for Exhaustion!  As usual that sounds sort of looney but if you have ever been at a place in your life when you could do so little that you were never exhausted in a good way, then you will understand.  I used to so love being able to cut the grass at our old house, hose everything off and come in a get a shower.  What a wonderful feeling - exhausted and looking at our finely little coiffed yard and feeling that sense of accomplishment.  Cleaning the whole house on a Saturday and then sitting down to enjoy the view - now that is good exhaustion.  Spending the day at a cub scout event or day at school with one of the boy's field day activities was glorious. Also the exhilaration of working hard on a job and accomplishing it is so worth it. While I can't do nearly as much now, there is still joy in good exhaustion that was provoked by glorious activity that produces something wonderful - a sense of accomplishment and joy from doing something for your friends and family.
