knowing my limit

Yesterday was a nice, hot, sunny day. Felt like we skipped right into summer.

I decided to set up my pool. It's a "fake" pool according to a local pool retailor. It's one of those pop up pools you buy at Walmart. Fake or not it's a welcome relief when the Mercury tops 80.

It's 16' round and 32" deep. It's quite heavy to say the least. I leveled the ground off the other day. So yesterday I dragged it out of the shed. I filled it with about an inch of water so I could stretch it out. After awhile I couldn't take the heat and was getting lite headed. Plus I just wasn't strong enough. So I stopped and plan on finishing it today.

I used to be the type of person who likes to finish what I start. There are times when I have no other alternative but to walk away, I don't like to but have to. I learned from doing Suduko puzzles that when I get to the point where I'm not able to finish a puzzle, that I need to walk away. I have found that when I come back to whatever I was doing with a clearer head I'm able to finish.

When I write journals I have a hard time knowing how to finish. I like to write. I feel that I leave whatever I'm writing, like a cliffhanger. It's hard for me to wrap it up.

Thank you to all who read my journals. I get my inspiration from you all. I read the journals you write. I draw my strength for you.
We walk through this life together. It's nice to walk with you.

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

Dave
