For What it's Worth

It's been a long and hard day at work today. I thought the day would never end and with the additional over time requested it seems it has drained me a lot today. We all need to work to get thru each day to support our families. With the additional working hours they say " You should be thankful for it." Well Should I be? Working like a machine non stop until your arms and fingers begin to ache. Noticed that eyes are getting blurrier from the prolonged and constant movement from the two monitors thru the years. It's been more than two years and it's taking it's toll. Giving my all yet still you want more. Now tell me are the additional hours worth it? Is it good for me or only good for you? Well enough of my rant it's just a long day today. I still thank God for all the blessings received each day and work that I have to support the family.

To keep my sanity I had to take a walk and breathe once I got home. I needed to get my mind on something else to relax. Let me share with you my walk and I am doing this in Black and White for a change.

I was with my wife @mhel to talk about stuff, future plans , food and my day of course. We saw this old couple and we wondered what they have been thru in this life. Maybe thinking of buying some food on that convenient store. Love is what binds us in this world and can overcome anything. I look at my wife and the old couple. I see ourselves being old and still together like them.

Life moves so fast and we barely notice. We need to make the most out of it and always choose what is more important in spending our time. Time that can never be brought back.

We saw a display of Joseph, Mary and Jesus from one of the houses we passed by. We barely noticed that Christmas is fast approaching. We think about of all the things that happened this year that seems like only yesterday.

At the park we saw children playing reminding me about life and having fun. I missed the days when I was a child innocence, no complications, no pressure and no care in the world. But we grow up because that's how life goes and it is a cycle. Without Steemit I might have sunk deeper into depression the feeling of being trapped and just waiting to grow old. This community has given me a glimpse of hope a window where I can see myself as a child again.

We grow old and eventually life goes on. We leave our legacy thru our children which is the reason that we never give up. This walk somehow has allowed me to breathe, rest my mind and get myself ready for another day. I think I'm ready for tomorrow.
