I think this must have been how the pioneer people felt. They worked from sun up until sun down because they needed to in order to survive. Music, books, letters, and parties or celebrations were treats to be enjoyed in their rare spare moments. I think I would like to return to that simpler way of life. Not that I necessarily want to work my fingers to the bone all day every day; but there is something to be said for hard work. When the day is done, you feel accomplished and don't have to wonder where all the hours went. Plus, hard work helps you sleep better than staring at a computer screen/phone screen/TV does.
To sum up - it was a good day. :)
