Yesterday I blogged about my 1st yard work of the season. It didn't go well. I had shaky arms for an hour afterwards. The goof here was that it was my own doing. It wasn't just that I did the yard work, but that I did it without the right gloves.
I had on my typical gardening gloves. Normally, those are enough for doing things in the yard, but not weed-eating. I have a pair of shock absorbing gloves that I should've wore & didn't even think about them until this morning. I did more yard work & weed-eating today with the right gloves & have very little shaking in my hands.
The point is that my shaky arms were my own fault. I should've remembered I needed the other gloves. I failed to employ a basic work philosophy, "The right tool for the right job." The gloves I wore yesterday were not the right ones & I paid for it. If I had stopped & thought about it a little more, maybe I might've used the right gloves.
Today, I took my time & remembered the right gloves. I did the work & I am sitting here with no shakes or aches. A lot of what happens to us in our lives boils down to bad choices we made. We get in a rush. We don't stop to think the matter through. In the end a lot of the unwanted in our lives is their because of our own doing.
Cya...
