Rush back home...

There is one line of this song that I really like.  I wouldn't say that I am a work-o-holic, but I do like my job and want to be good at what I do.  I learned a long time ago, working in one of my first jobs, how easy it is to let work consume all others aspects of life.  I swore that I would not do that to myself again.  This can be a very difficult thing to do, and I think that as a society, we have a hard time taking care of ourselves and not overworking.  According to CNN, employees in the US get an average of 25 days off a year (between vacation and paid holidays).  Sounds great, but compared to Italy (31), Japan (35) and France (40), to name a few, our leisure time seems pathetic.  Then when you take into consideration that many business people are never really "off the clock," taking calls in the evenings, checking email on weekends and vacations, do we ever really allow ourselves the down time that we need.  I think that it is so important to seperate work from home and to actually be "disconnected" from work and relax.  So, all that being said.....here is the line of the song that I like:

"I used to rush off to work and get home late but
Now I show up late and rush back home"

Here's to taking the time to take care of ourselves and our families!

Chris Young - You

The bluest skies don't seem so blue
And the stars seem to be a little dimmer too
Now that you're around you put 'em all to shame
Let me break it down cause what I'm trying to say is

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

Gotta whole new direction it seems these days
I used to rush off to work and get home late but
Now I show up late and rush back home
My priorities are different, I can't leave you alone

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

Girl if you ever get to guessing if I'm thinking about you

Just remember that

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

You you you, youuuuu, whoa you
