I often think back to the summer when I was sixteen. My next door neighbor hired me two days a week to harvest tobacco. His mother always prepared a sufficient lunch, and it was "hit the field" again. There were two brothers involved, and both held second shift jobs. Some other folks found that I was "for hire" and I worked for them two days a week also. They paid better, but took things a little slower. Dinner was like a restaurant, often two meats and several vegetables as well as pie and cake. There were generally about a dozen people eating, but it was mostly kinfolk except for me, but it was a family atmosphere. Granny was always saying, "Sure you don't want another piece of pie?" After dinner, everyone would rest thirty minutes to an hour before going back to work. These folks made a decent living, but took time to enjoy life and family association. I often think of the contrast. I, personally, agree with your philosophy, If you can survive, take things a little slower and enjoy your coffee and smell the roses. Smells a lot better than anything else you will shovel!
