Most of us have to work. We all have bills to pay and need to eat. We want things that cost money. I guess I'm at an age where I don't see the benefit of killing yourself working though. If you have to work all the time and can't enjoy your life it is pretty sad. The difference may be if work is your enjoyment. A lot of us do not get the job that gives us that great love of life. And if you are working so much you can't enjoy the things you wanted it really is a wash.
I think we need, for our soul, time to enjoy a cup of coffee, time to star gaze and wonder at the moon, time to listen to an outdoor concert, time to enjoy a movie, time to visit with family and friends. The things that nourish us don't have to cost a lot and create more need for work.
Work ethic is great and we should all have it. It is how we get things done and some things need doing. For me it is picking up after two little kids, laundry, cooking. And I think about how to instill work ethic in those children. Hence I want them out in the garden with me. Trying to show them that some work is fun. Okay pulling weeds is not fun, but watching produce grow is.
Trying to find balance. Trying to figure out how to show that balance. I want that for the littles, myself and my friends.
