Great Friday afternoon to all my dear friends here! It’s a gorgeous afternoon here, sun is shining, little to no wind, and a perfect 70F. Oh, the things I would have been doing on a day like this a few years ago, wasting it was what I would be doing!
Adam came over to the field after supper yesterday to go for a ride-a-long in the new tractor. He doesn’t understand why I would put in so many hours for such small pay when I could work less hours for way more pay. I just told him, life isn’t always about making more money, sometimes it’s just about doing something you enjoy doing. Kids now-a-days are a lot different than when I grew up. All my kids are concerned about making enough money to buy the things they want, travel to all the places they want to see. None of them will ever have kids of their own because of the financial responsibility that comes with having children. I call it being selfish lol. But in a way I can see their point. My ex and I sacrificed a lot for ourselves to make sure our kids had everything they needed. Would I go back and change things? Nope, the only thing I would change is letting my drinking out of control. Maybe I used booze as my recreation and travel because that’s all I could afford back then, who knows. It’s in the past and can’t be changed, so no point pondering or worrying over it.
With marijuana soon to be legalized up here, I can sense Bubba getting a bit concerned about me maybe getting into a new habit. She keeps hinting around that I have to be careful about exchanging one addiction for another. I had to be honest with her and tell her I’ve thought about it, but I assured her I would be treating it like alcohol, if I don’t smoke one joint, I can’t smoke 21 of them lol. And that’s exactly what would happen if I had one, I’d be carrying another 20 of them!
Crazy how an addict’s mind works isn’t it….
Anyway, have a fantastic weekend everyone, and since I’m out seeding, it’s only fitting to say; let’s keep it between the lines eh!
