Weight loss and perseverance

Well, we had a lot of wind last night and another small 14’ pine went down on the property line near where I cleared the one yesterday. Both trees were half dead, so it’s no surprise that this one went down too.

When I saw it down this morning, I wondered if I had it in me to tackle it after yesterday’s work. I figured I would at least try to see what I could do.

I had breakfast and then spent another afternoon sawing, hauling and digging out the stump. A few hours later and when it all was done...I wasn’t feeling much more tired than I did yesterday.

Goddamn! I do like feeling strong and capable again!

While I am sure I will feel it more tomorrow, I am very happy that I could go at it like that two days in a row. When I started this journey, just walking up the hill to look at it was about all I could handle for one day.

What a different World I am in now physically...and it feels great!
