There are many “pains in the back”. I got a literal “pain in the back” when I bent over my grocery cart today in the store. Fortunately it was the last stop on my errand run so I painfully made it back home and got my son to help me unload the groceries. But my ability to work in the garden today was gone and that added to the “pain in the back.” I also had to cancel my presence at two meetings today because of the back pain but that was okay. It was when I went to install updated Antivirus software in my wife’s and son’s computers that the mental “pain in the back” went in gear. I had installed the same software on my computer quite easily but in their two, one old and one new, I ran into all kinds of problems. It has been awhile since I have experienced computer frustration, so after a few hours of back pain and frustration I gave up. Maybe one “pain in the back” affects the other one? So now because of these two pains in the back, literal and computer related, I am further behind in two of my priorities, growing the garden and the nonviolent worm domain. Tomorrow is a new day and I will work, if I can, on the garden and web domain before trying again to install this computer software on the two computers.
Some good news came today by way of a phone call. My friend James Godsil found someone interested in building worm condos for community gardens. He is coming over tomorrow to discuss this project. I hope to get one first for DMZ and than for any other community gardens interested in the organic fertilizer of ‘black gold’ of castings.
Life lesson learned today. When you face a “pain in the back” literally or mentally, just get comfortable, read a book or reflect. More doing can make the “pain in the back” increase.
