Ethics

I am trying to get better at keeping up with this thing. Obviously I won't be writing every week like I was.

This week has been pretty crazy. I am helping my dad with his campaign to be reelected to school board, as well as getting used to some changes at work. I am absolutely exhausted, but I wouldn't change a thing. This week I've had a lot on my mind. One of those things has been work ethic.
What ever happened to taking pride in your work? Is that a thing of the past? I was brought up to take pride in whatever I did, no matter what it was. I learned to have a strong work ethic by example. My mom and dad are both so incredibly hard working. No matter what they do, they give their all. Whether it was an occupation, teaching Sunday school, taking care of their kids, or helping out friends and family, they did their best at it. I may not have the most glamorous job, but I do what I do to the best of my ability. As adults we have to work, unless you are one of the lucky ones who has everything handed to you and you don't have to do anything to get it. Why can't people take the fact that they have to work and just do the best that they can? I guess some people just do what they have to do to get by and don't mind that they don't do it as well as they could. I don't think I could look at myself in the mirror if I didn't do everything in my power to do my best. Maybe I am just a perfectionist.
I've also been thinking about the future and how I hope my husband and I are able to instill a sense of pride in our children. I know that Steve has the same view points as I do when it comes to so much. I know he takes so much pride in his work and that is something I love about him. I think it is so important to have the same kind of work ethics as your partner. I think that its along the same lines as the importance of religion, wanting children, and agreeing on finances. I can't imagine not having all of those things in common.
I understand having differences. It makes things so much more interesting when there are those little differences. You just have to have the big things in common. I know I have those big things in common with Steve.
I am so blessed that I was raised to have a strong work ethic. I'm so blessed that I have found a man I love that has the same priorities as I do. I am just incredibly blessed all around.

Lots of Love
