Spring Work Isn’t Gentle (But It Feels Good)

Author: Farmer Kelley

Spring work is real work.

There’s mud, long days, fences to fix, animals to move, and a pace that picks up quickly.

It’s physical. It’s demanding.

And it feels good.

There’s a difference between being exhausted and being fully used in the right way. I notice it every spring.

Yes, I’m more active. Yes, I’m tired at the end of the day.

But it’s a satisfying kind of tired. One that comes from doing something that matters.

Not all effort gives that back.

Spring reminds me to choose the kind that does.
