Non-writing week
Took a break from writing to help a friend recover from Hurricane Helene. They have a sheep farm in the North Carolina mountains. A lot of the work was done by volunteers from all over the country. it is wonderful to know how people will take time away from their own affairs to help out their fellow man. It's truly inspiring.
Tending toward a hermit's life squirreled away in my house writing, reading and (making an effort at) marketing, I was oblivious to the extent of the damage way high in the mountains. I tend to think of hurricanes as ocean-front events. It just never occurred to me that such a tropical storm could make its way to such high inland elevations. They are calling it a 5,000-year storm!
Did some hard but rewarding work building fences. Just walking up those mountains got my heartrate much higher than any of my workouts do. Then, driving in those metal posts just about did me in.
Well, it was a good feeling even if my contribution was paltry by comparison.
