Brush Stroke

The reno week this year was successful. The ceiling is freshly painted, the pads for the bike racks poured and the trees have been planted. The 2nd annual potato bake was great! Even with tasks needing to be done, we each had a chance to enjoy some time together and stuff our faces. I am happy to have contributed to this reno as opposed to last year. It really does give you a deeper connection to the school. It further distinguishes it from being "just another place to work out". 

Due to my awesome shoulder rolling skills, I was not able to help with the outside projects and was limited to painting inside. Although this work was above my head, it was not as heavy as working with garden tools or moving dirt. I managed to make myself useful and it probably helped with the mobility of my shoulder anyway.

I really did enjoy painting the ceiling. I was tasked with "cutting" the edges of the ceiling and around the lights. This took full focus and attention as I did not want to paint the wall or the lights. There was something almost soothing about having a task so simple yet delicate as this one. It reminded me fully engage myself in everything I do. No matter how simple something seems, you need to pay attention to what you're doing to do it properly.
