morning run Holy Friday

I woke up and headed out the door. i did some procrastinating but i realized the run would never happen if i didn't just go before the day began. the weather was a great blessing a cool breeze and partial cloud cover. i couldn't believe that between my home and the icon studio three houses which severely impacted by the storm of a few days ago. it made me think about my blessings and the day of cleaning in preparation for Pascha (Easter). If blessings become burdens then i am an unfaithful and ungrateful steward. Cleaning the yard, doing floors and windows for example is not glamorous but it is a privilege to have so much. i am personally working on not equating anger with strength.
