I am thankful for toil and sweat, frustration and sorrow. These are the things that push me through. These are the things that bring me closer to my Creator. These are the things that bring growth, appreciation and thankfulness. Though, they happen on different levels, emotionally, spiritually and physically, i'm glad to be able to see their value, and blessings.
and this brings me to yet again, another Wendell Berry quote, which i came across in his Native Hill essay. It is for you to chew on and ponder:
"We have tried to escape the sweat and sorrow promised in Genesis--only to find that, in order to do so we must forswear love and excellence, health and joy."
