Week 5: Give Me a Half Glass



Our goal wears a Nike jogging suit, shouting "wake up" with staccato clarity as we snooze Saturday mornings. We huddle up and with bent heads, brush teeth while the goal fiercely whispers our strategy for success. Clint has now completed the back shingling--the mid-mark.

Halfway done is as momentarily satisfying as eating Chinese food. We peruse "before" pictures to remind ourselves of obstacles defeated. The Hardy-Plank siding started while we were still dating. The three coats of color sprayed on before finding Blueberry blue. The arm sling Clint wore while painting the house (don't ask). Is the glass half empty or half full? The whistle-wearing goal says there's no time for philosophy--the front needs our attention.
