My House


 to break old habits
Back to Full Blog  

You guys have all done alot of the same things I have, and have (just like me) struggled to overcome some of those things. I have been all my life addicted to work. It started when I was just 12 years old. It was summer and the ad posted on a fence post said....Help wanted. So I began my first job...picking berries. Each time you would take a flat of berries up to the checker you would be paid right then...I was hooked! At the end of the day I had both pockets of my blue jeans filled with coins....and I kept coming back for more of those wonderful feeling coins. I have been like that all my life....more is better. I retired October 2005. I did real good for awhile, then I could not bear the site of my old work gloves just laying there on the bench doing nothing. So, I took on a local part-time job. This company is so busy and growing so fast that my part-time job is beginning to take on the feel of a full time thing. And once again I am beginning to get pretty tired. Recognizing that I am an addictive personality, I think I am going to have to step up and draw the imaginary line in the sand. If that does not slow me down, then I think I shall just have to go back to lazing around the property. Don't get me wrong now, I love to work...just not to hard anymore. Hope all is well with all of you on the Stream.
