Walter WAS a Worker

Published by artinfact at 5:24 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Walter was a worker.  Walter worked too much.  Walter was a pleaser but Walter worked too much.  Walter wasn’t able to work too much and please enough.  Walter died a lonely man with money in the bank.

I was raised to work hard.  I was told that I was to work hard and that my spouse should also work hard.  My mother slaved her entire life away.  She missed out on much of my growing up and also on my children.  A shame, because, all she had to do was slow down.

Slow down.

Don’t let life get away from you!

I understand we are in a recession!!  I know that families are struggling and so many should just be happy they have a job.  But, in the midst of all the work you do, don’t forget to “just be happy” you have a family!

We live in a world where more is better.  The latest thing is also the most expensive and most likely to be replaced in recent months.  We are filled with this foolishness that we must keep up with a fast paced world.  A world that is fast paced only because we are making it that way.  We stress ourselves with hustle and bustle and forget to slow down and appreciate the things around us.

That I-phone will do you no good in the grave. 

I’m just sayin’.
