Ah what a interesting place to find contentment. So I'm home alone with no tv on, no music, no real sounds. And I'm getting a chance to do something I haven't had in a REALLY long time which is polish my shoes. Now while i used to have to do it all the time in the military it's so wonderful how at ease with life i feel doing it. I think I realize why I would like to have alot of money someday. Sure all the material things would be nice but I think having alot of money would give me the one thing I don't think I have alot of which is time. If I had the money to pay my bills and such I think I wouldn't have to spend 40 hours a week plus the time it takes to commute to instead of making a life, to live a life. I think that's why I like the movie "Thomas Crown Affair" so much. He can just enjoy live and explore and play and live a life. Not spend all the time in the world it seems just to make a life.

Something else I noticed is how experience and tragities in life make one more a realist then a dreamer. I think maybe that's why alot of us would love to return to a childhood to live and dream instead of looking at the world in such a realist view. Hopefully I can remind myself from time to time to dream, play, and enjoy life a little instead of being a realist making a life all the time.

Maybe all the chaos and hard work is good for you.
Obviously it makes you appreciate down time more.
If everything was simple and easy and fun all the time it would get old fast.
At least in my opinion.
Working hard now pays off in the end.
Because it makes you value the simplest things.
And that's what makes life worth living.
Maybe?
