Work is Hard


So have you ever noticed that when you really choose to buckle down and work, it's hard? Tiring? Maybe I'm the only one. Trying to stay off the computer often turns my thoughts to all the chores and jobs always waiting for me. Sometimes I think, "I'll go work until the kitchen is done" ... then find myself tired and wishing it was done long before it is, and having to remind myself to keep on working, keep on working, keep on working until it IS done. I suppose at the end there should be a satisfaction that outweighs the effort, the pleasure of a job well done. But usually there's just relief at being able to sit down and take the break I've been dreaming of. Of course, if you've denied yourself web access and that means even your thoughtful blogging will have to wait until tonight to be posted, well ... there's not a lot of satisfaction in blogging, either. The email's read, the blog is done, what does that leave? Sadly, it leaves more work. I think probably I need to change my thinking, remember that I do this work as a service to my family and it should be joyful. Maybe it could be if it weren't ... well ... so much work. LOL! Ok, so the attitude still needs some adjusting, at least I understand, intellectually, the goal. To love & serve the Lord and my family. And really, they are worth serving. And if I really think about it, no one ever said it should be easy.

... On the up-side, I got a lot done today.
