I’ve been praying for warmer weather for weeks (we’ve had rain, snow, sleet, rain, more rain, and fairly cool temperatures throughout – my tomatoes hate me).

Well, I finally got my wish. Lots of sunshine and warmer days.

And I must say it’s lovely … except when I have to work out in it. Taking care of the bunnies late morning and late afternoon was wearing me to a frazzle. Then one day I woke up early and decided to get an earlier start on my day. It was amazing! I got all my work done without a drop of sweat and I still had energy for the rest of my day.

It was so startling a change, I took a look at my afternoon outside work and decided to put it off for another hour or so to work in the shade of the late afternoon (we have tall trees).

What a difference it made in my day! {happy dance} A shift in when I do my bunny care has changed my world. It’s amazing what a small change can make. I’m now on a what-other-problems-could-be-solved-by-a-small-change crusade.

What are the most significant stressors in your life and marriage? Ask your sweetie to brainstorm some options that might reduce the stress. Try one for a few days and then tweak your solution as needed.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things … to the every day things nearest to us … Booker T Washington
