hello potential readers,
day four and not much to say today. pretty boring thursday. but i have a story... i always have a story.
there is a child sitting at home with their mother eating dinner. dad is out working late again. it is nearly 8 pm when dad gets home after a long day of working as a plumber. he is welcomed home by his wife who heats up his cold dinner. the child is sitting across the table doing homework and is becoming nauseous from the smell of their father. finally the child feels the need to say something... and screams. "god dad! you smell so bad! why?! why do you do this! put yourself through the stick and how in god's green earth can you keep a smile on the whole time!?"
the father calmly puts down his knife and fork and says... "listen. i am a plumber, and i'm good at what i do. i own my own business and i have provided for you and your mother and that makes me happy."
"if i have learned anything in my time on earth it is this... god gives everyone two things, what they are good at and what makes them happy... and if god is smiling on you they will be the same thing. mine are plumbing and being a good husband and father, respectively. i work in filth with the hope that i can support you in whatever god gave to you... and i hope as a good father that both are the same thing, because only god could smile on you more then me."
today's moral: follow what you love and what are good at. even if they take you through shit it will be worth smiling over.
