DAY 4: Hard Work Is Worth Something

Today I helped out my dad for a few hours. 
​I've been looking for small jobs to pay the bills while I am temporarily unemployed. 
He offered the job of taking apart our old back porch steps, and so that's what I did! 
Wow, it's hard work using a crowbar! Haha. 
​
Today was kind of sentimental.. these steps that I completely de-constructed were the steps I walked on when I was a toddler. 
Here I ate ice cream many times. 
I sat on them just to listen to music when I needed to get away a little bit. 
It's just weird to think that years ago when I was doing all those things, I never would have thought that I'd be where I am today. Much less, I would be the one to demolish those very steps in the future! 
You could say I have a thing for nostalgia. 

About halfway through!

​​I have really been missing working hard lately- that's where I thrive and it's what I love. Nothing compares to the feeling hard work. 
Sweat dripping, breathing hard and getting things done. 
Amazing. 
​
I really want to start working hard again. 
I suppose, that can look different than I think. 
Work hard at something you love, no matter if you put sweat into it. 
At least you know you'll put in some tears.
