We Have More Time Than We Think

Yesterday was a very long day at work for me. My work day begins at 6:15 in the winter time. I work at Rocky River Golf Club and we have to begin work before the sun rises.  Luckily, with it being cold now I get to sleep in for an extar thirty minutes.  I always get to work and clock in at 6:53 EVERY day that I work.

As soon as walked into the shop yesterday morning I looked on the job posting board to see what my assignment would be for the day.  My assignment was to take pictures of each and every green on the course each hour of the day.  this would show which trees cast shadows on the greens in order for us to find out which ones would need to be cut down to prevent shadows from being cast onto the greens.

I began to take the pictures and I started to notice that I was averaging one picture for every four or so minutes.  Except for me, it felt like an eternity!  It made me truly realize just how much time we have in a day.  It also brought to my attention just how much time we waste in a day. Time is of the essence.  We don't really utilize all the time we have nor do we do it in ways that we should. 

I say we use our time in ways to make us as happy as possible for the short time we have.  I plan on enjoying life to its fullest potential and taking advantage of each and every opportunity.

Weekend Plans.

I have a lot on the agenda for tonight. It's Friday, January thirteenth and my friends and I are headed to the farm tonight.  To begin our evening, we will start by rolling out the four-wheelers and gathering some fire wood.  After said fire wood has been collected, we'll stack it all in a great big pile by the fire pit out at the pond.  We will then continue on to ride into the night.  As the final minutes of dayllight creep away, everyone will be anxious to get the bonfire started.  We'll throw a few of last years Christmas trees and a couple logs in the pit to get it going and set up the radio.  Then we hangout and enjoy each other's company along with the occational night rides on the four-wheelers for hours.  By around midnight everyone tends to get a little hungry so we pack up the cars and head to cookout for a while.  It's the cheapest food in town and famous for its thick, creamy milkshakes.  With full bellys we head back to the farm to curl up by the fire for a little longer.  As the fire simmers out we head to the house to change into our bathing suits for a little hot tub action. Anywhere from one to two hours is typically spent in the hot tub. Finally everyone will be tired and ready for a good night's rest. Off to bed so we can do it all over agian tomorrow.
