The Fun Times

      It has been said that the fun times are those remembered most fondly. The question I have is this. Are the fun times necessarily the easiest times to feel alive? Can we actually go through this life without strife,pain and sorrow? Were we meant to just be given something for nothing and not expect to give back in return? Okay so that is more than one question. However, some of the best times of our lives have been endured throughout the roughest times of our lives. They have also been the leanest of times and yet the most simple.
      How is it that in our tumultuous life endeavors we seem to always lose sight of the simple things in life, such as just a plain old fashioned stroll through the neighborhood  or playing catch with the kids. I have always enjoyed the solitude and peacefulness of a quiet neighborhood. Just listening to the sounds of life around us everyday if we can just stop to listen.
      Each day I hear the chimes of hammers striking aluminum tubes and steel clamps.The sound of the ability to earn a living for those we love the most. Although these are the sounds of productivity and hard work, they are a welcome sound that we can count our blessings for. Each day I return back to my little corner of the world to attempt to reflect on all the good things in life. I try not to think about how this 8 cylinder body sometimes feels more like a moped and that I am no longer 20 years old although I still try to work like one. The discomfort I have each day is a welcomed feeling as I am still able to support those I Love the most. I am not just speaking of a monetary support, but an emotional one that supersedes anything else. It is with the networks of family friends and coworkers that we are able to overcome anything as long as we are being supported along the way.
      Feeling the gratitude and hearing praises makes life worth while. Like you are actually making a difference to someones life and putting your share towards a common goal. Each day I feel this within the ranks of my peers, as they look for guidance to my many years of experience. Please don't misunderstand me here, I enjoy trying to help my fellow workers so we can all reach the common goal of an efficient and quality build at the end of a productive day.So even though we hurt every day, it can only mean that we are able to still feel. the quality of life and therefore have a deeper and more appreciative view of the simpler things in life.
