The Benefits of Hard Work

I have always been a big fan of hard work and I believe there is no greater thing than hard work.  I was brought up in a household that required me to do chores on a daily basis and I learned a lot from these chores.  I learned that I needed to do them or I would get in trouble.  I learned about how much time it takes to keep a house clean.  I learned how much sweat is involved in weeding the garden and mowing the lawn.  These were all things that were taught to me by my parents.  I sometimes feel that our society is losing the hard work gene.

Now, that I dug into our busy schedule and lack of posting, what have we been doing?

One of these questions is the title of the article.
