Well today was a busy day. I needed to mow my lawn today, which I did, but once I was done I decided to mow the lawn across the street. The house across the street has been vacant since January, one of those bullshit variable loan foreclosures, and the grass was getting pretty high. The high grass definitely was getting to the point of having the house look vacant, which is kind of uncool.
After I got done a friend of mine pulled up with two pressure treated 4x4s and three pressure treated 2x4s. He knew I needed these materials to build a new gate on the side of my house. He just gave them to me and asked for nothing in return, even after I offered. He also gave me the pipe and coupling I need to fix my sprinkler system in my front yard. Plus, he gave me the primer and pipe cement I need to put the irrigation together.
This is very cool considering I had come to terms with the fact that I was going to have to wait until my financial situation improved before I could complete these projects. This just helped me reaffirm how abundantly blessed I really am. It's not money I need to feel abundance, it's love, compassion, and friendship. Life is such a beautiful journey and any act of giving, whether it be time, money, or talents, will always return to me heaped up pressed down and running over.
I am a blessed individual.
I guess I'll be making a gate and fixing my irrigation system this weekend. Cool.
