The 1940's - Northern Ontario

A simpler lifestyle?

Work should be undertaken to sustain a healthy and contented life. It should provide for our needs not the wants that have been programmed into us.

Working more might be good if it is fun. Or so I thought at the start of the forties when I was haying with my big brother.

But work should not control our existence. Being too tired after hours for the things that really matter might mean the daily routine is out of balance and needs to be adjusted. And our goals and values might need re-examining.
