"People with dirty jobs are happier than you think. As a group, they’re the happiest people I know."
-Mike Rowe
I just watched this video and I can only say, Amen, brother. Amen.
If you have been thinking that it's time to renew your gym membership, I invite you to consider other ways to improve your health:
-Plant a garden
-Help someone clean something up
-Do something that requires a little elbow grease and maybe even something that would make you want to plug your nose...but dont'
-Let your shoes get dirty in the digging
-Wield a garden tool in some purposeful way so that you can taste the difference between the sweat from hard labor and the sweat from using an indoor treadmill
Those are my old-timer thoughts for the day in hopes that true blue hard work remains the most important teacher we can introduce our children to.
