Dress Shoes Make Good "Everything Else" Shoes

The other day I was feeling kind of down. I don't know what it was; it just felt like the world was going by faster than usual. I decided to combat the problem by putting on a shirt and tie and reading the Ensign with my sweetie. This month's First Presidency Message was really good and it spoke to me in a lot of ways. We decided to take the heart of the message and paint it onto a plaque. I hopped up, went outside, found a piece of pine from an earlier project and cut it down with a handsaw. I ran back inside, grabbed a block plane and put a chamfer on the edges and made a nice, rustic plaque. Thinking of another plaque I had been wanting to make, I cut a piece from some pallet scraps and planed it down as well. All this happened while wearing a good shirt, tie, and my suit trousers. I guess I find healing standing out in the cold, sawing and planing at wood as I spent the rest of the day feeling more productive and happy.
