Shit in the yard called life
I just finished mowing my yard, yes, it's November 6th but it's also 70° and beautiful here so I figured I'd get one last mow in.
As I was mowing the back yard, I was going up a small incline , by small I mean 4ft elevation max, small but after an hour of pushing a mower, it seems way bigger. Suddenly, my foot slips and I start to go down, what the hell, I catch my footing and stay upright but think to myself, DOG SHIT!!! Ugh, why didn't I scoop the poop before? I didn't even see that fresh pile of doggy do and now it's all over my shoes..grrrrugh.
It hits me, life, it's hidden dog shit in the yard. There are several reasons that I chose to scoop after I mowed, one being that the grass was too tall, I couldn't really see where all of the poop was hiding. Just like life, sometimes we need to get rid of some of the over growth before we can even see where the shit is in our lives, that's how it was for me. I had so much bad that had grown for years that I didn't even see half of the crap hidden in my life. I mowed down some unnecessary stuff and found what I needed to get rid of. I started scooping shit as fast as I could.
I've been texting my 2 childhood friends today (like every day) (they have been my solid rocks the past few years), one told me that I needed to write a book...I decided at that moment, the title would be "The shit I found in my yard". Thanks J and C for being there and being 2 of the 4 people who read this, you both are the best and I'm blessed that you love me even though I still have a lot of dog shit that I slip in.
