The ironies of life.

Spring has sprung and new life always seems to emerge and excite us.  The lilac bush is enjoying the rain as well as the once again green lawn.  Flowers, and vegetable gardens will soon emerge and give life to a otherwise grim winter that we incurred.  The first sounds of lawn mowers and trimmers bring out the sense of excitement and enthusiasm of summer to come.  At what point does this excitement of yard work turn into the chores of the summer?  The fall leaves lead us to yet another chore, yet we are enthralled with this enjoyment that we currently have.  Life is a seasonal and yearly ironic chore.  At some points we are flush with enjoyment on a task and at another we are obligated by the chore with the same task.  Life is very much the same way.  We go through the same motions and rythms of daily obligations of work and usually we end up with the same results.  However in this economy, the same efficient results could lead to a loss in a job.  Irony is, the way I put it, the absurdity of a real logical situation.  Its dumbfoundedness is without reason.  Why do I love planting things but hate the end of tending to them?  The way I see things irony can lead to happiness.  How do two 90 something women outlive their neighbors even in their own bad health?  Maybe irony means an omen for things to come, because two women I know should not have been able to do those things.  
Lead your life in the right way, and irony will lead to positive unexpected consequences.
Hopefully,
