Today's version of chopping wood and carrying water

  1. Rain, but not so much the predicted heavy thunderstorms. Not yet, anyway. 
  2. Put in a request for prescription renewals
  3. Paid bills
  4. Bought stamps
  5. Signed birthday cards, got Tom and the cats to sign, too
  6. Wrote checks and enclosed with said birthday cards
  7. Went to bank, made deposit, converted jars of change to folding green, set up appointment for tomorrow to cash a CD.
  8. Minor errands -- new toothbrush, shampoo, a few food items
  9. Finished writing a scene for Wacky
  10. Read blogs
  11. Watched the rain
  12. Walked
"Before Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, after Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."  
~ Zen proverb

Not to imply enlightenment, of course. Just the ordinariness of the day.

    Chop wood, carry water, breathe air.
    Do good, help the Other, show care.

    You somehow managed to slip a life lesson into this. Thank you.
