Approaching the weekend like the bees.

Do you try to be as lazy as possible on the weekends? In the past, I've made that a habit. I exert tremendous energy into my work that the weekend is for zoning out. Today I approached the weekend like the bees - I worked.  

First, I performed the morning rituals. Unloaded the dishwasher, made coffee - Turkish style with cardamom and cinnamon, and nearly finished a book. Now I am writing to you. And next, I'll plan my day using my EVO planner and start to work.  

That was and is work. It requires energy, effort, and a desire to create something important to me, and for someone else - you.  

What other ways will I create work today?

  • Buy milk from a farm. I buy raw milk to make yogurt.  

  • Try out a new local farm stand style grocery store - I'm all about the farms today.

  • Discover how a loaf of bread I made turned out. If you're into bread baking, I purposely fermented this bread a bit longer to see how it would come out.  

  • Discover what chicken brined in pickle juice tastes like. I fermented cucumbers a while back and reusing the juice.

  • I am hoping to take a hike and discover something in the forest.  

Discovery is work.

I am experimenting, learning, failing, and doing it all again. It's also fun.

If today goes the way I hope it does, I'll probably approach every day like the bees.
