Yesterday

Yesterday was a great day for me. It was basically family day here at our house. We got up not too late and I made breakfast for Beth and all the kids. Then later Beth and I went outside and did some gardening. The kids were all in the house playing games and I don't think I heard one argument. For some of you this would sound like a normal Sunday but it goes further than that for me.

I had a different feeling yesterday. A feeling of togetherness. A feeling of being needed and wanted. A feeling of comfort. I new that there was peace in the house and I knew my kids weren't getting in trouble.

There is something to be said for this. To each individual it might be something different but for me it's called family bonding. Even if nothing is said while working or playing games it's knowing that we're a family and we're there for each other. Family is everything. There's nothing more important than your own. Cherish it and hold on. Family means love to me. Different families show love in many different ways. Some yell like my grandparents used to do on a daily basis.
Some say it and some don't. The important thing is love and togetherness, peace and harmony is possible. It's our task to make sure it happens more often. Spread the love.

I think we should shorten the work week to everybody works 3 days a week. Monday through Wednesday for the 1st shift (8 hours a day) and 2nd shift would be Thursday through Saturday. Every one has Sunday off. This way maybe we could spend more time with our families. And maybe this way there would be more peace and more harmony within this world.

Peace to all.

  1. Good point Rick. If people worked less hours, more people could be employed! 100% employment!
