Therapeutic Leaf Raking


Is it just me or do other people find leaf-raking therapeutic?

Most of this afternoon I've spent clearing leaves from my garden. I know it's a meaningless task because tomorrow and the next day after that there will be another load back on the ground again.

While I'm raking away - my thoughts wander off and it's almost like a mind-cleansing exercise, ridding myself of any concerns or worries that maybe hovering around in my head.

Admittedly I also have a leaf blower/sucker to assist me with the job, however much of the job is completed with good-old fashioned rake.

So for now - just in this small period of time, the garden looks well groomed and my mind is feeling rather clear as well.


Job well done!!
