work

God ordained it in the beginning ... cursed it after the fall ... and the effects are still felt today. yet, i am a firm believer that adam and eve greatly enjoyed their toils and labors before the fall, and obviously grew quickly into the dislike and tedium that we know as work today.

but, i think despite the tedium, the aches, the annoyances, the everything that we all deeply dislike about work ... that there are experiences and work days that bring out, in small degrees, the joys that adam and eve felt before the fall, in there working ...

i had one of those days today. see, i have been here in Auburn by myself now since yesterday morning, since my roommate left ... and there is no one else in town. so today, i got up at a decent time ... 8:00ish, sat around, ate, and went to start working. i worked all day, literally. nothing hard and nothing outstanding, but i got to work ... i left, ate lunch, went back

come 5 pm, i am all done and worn out. got home, plopped down on the couch with a nice cold brew and enjoyed thinking of my day, thinking of all i got done, of all i have been meaning to do, which i have now done. i enjoyed thinking how i have been more or less by myself today and fully enjoyed to the max, even the work i  enjoyed ...

and sure, there was a little mud drivin', but nothing like actually muddin' ... but still

work, it is God ordained. and it was good.
