Asparagus Gym

I wake up at 5:45a.m. and my body cringes at the thought of rising from the comfort of bed. It is cold out there. Everything tells me to refuse the offer of a sunrise workout.
But I get up and I go and pick asparagus as my hamstrings, my quadraceps and my glutes burn hour upon hour.
And I smile as I pause...I'm being paid for this. For getting back into shape.
I am blessed.
