Desire, Strength, and Determination

There is a fourth member of this team, it is called endurance. On Monday, when my sister and I tackled the fencing, we kept going until we were done. It took us roughly four hours to move the fence line out.
I was glad to have her help as it can be quite a challenge to move the fences by yourself. The fence post driver is heavy and so I can not lift it high enough to place it on the fence post without bringing the fence post down to a level that I can reach. While Beatrice held the fence, I was able to do what I needed to do to drive the post into the ground. The process went real well. However, I paid the consequences of it yesterday when I tried to get the chores done and start work on my list. I found that I had little energy left, my endurance was gone and so I spent most of yesterday recuperating from Monday's expenditure of energy.
The lesson here is to find balance between desire, determination and endurance. My mind is willing but my body is not able to do all that I once did. The goal is to let my body get enough work to keep it strong and enough rest to keep it healthy so that hopefully one day, I will have the endurance I need to carry me through a days worth of work.
