Dear Humans,

On Saturday afternoon my lawn didn’t look too bad. It was a little shaggy and scraggly, but it wasn’t anything too pressing. It could probably wait a few more days or even until next weekend.

And then my neighbor mowed their lawn and all of a sudden my grass looked like a jungle.

It’s funny because during the week I make all these mental plans to mow the lawn, pull weeds, and get everything looking sharp. And then the weekend actually comes, and I don’t want any part of it.

But when I actually pick myself off the couch, put my shoes on, and do it, it’s not that bad. In fact, it’s kind of fun and it doesn’t take too much time. Most of the time is spent putting it off.

And isn’t that the truth of so many things in life: usually the hardest part is just putting on your shoes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
