Back to the "grind" of my gears Mood
Sunday, October 4, 2009

As I start my new work week, I feel that I have entered that realm in all of our lives called the "grind".  I'm tired after work and worried that I will become yet again a couch potato.  My energy level was so good the last 2-3 weeks.  It was like "whoo hoo"!  I'm back at work.  I guess adrenaline got the best of me.

 

When I was closing up my bar today I couldn't help but think to myself... "how on earth did I ever come to work High"?  I do feel good and energized when I'm working.  The tourist are fun, my co-workers are great and I still sing a different tune as I did before.  Life is too good to be High on a drug.  It's as if there has been a 10 month gap in my life which was wasted and I'll never get back.  I can only enjoy and live for THIS day and look forward to all the glorious days yet to come.
