Fountain Hill, AZ

I bet you are wondering where this place is. It’s the world second largest fountain. The Gateway Geyser in East St. Louis, IL is now the world’s tallest fountain, at 630 ft, since December 2005. Here is little information about the fountain.

Fountain Hills, Arizona - World’s Second Tallest Fountain (560 ft)

The work being done to the World’s Tallest Fountain is complete and the fountain is again spouting on the hour, every hour, during daylight hours. When the fountain is active, the column of water can be seen for miles. The park surrounding the fountain is still partially closed due to on-going facility upgrades at this time but the open section is an excellent area to congregate with family and friends and, as an added bonus, if the winds are blowing your way you get a very nice, refreshing mist from the fountain.

What is my weekend confession?

I was thinking about what to blog in the past few days. I have been busy doing business at home and working on some project to boost my business. I guess I have been working a little too hard. I post “7 ways to work smarter than harder - Enjoy life is a must” just two days ago.

This morning, I was twittering, blogging about some great smile photos and communicate with other bloggers over the blog communities. Yeah. I have to admit that it was fun and I am so addicted to chat with friends and strangers online. I open my living windows and saw the great sunny day without cloud. I realize that spring is coming. It’s the best time to hang out with friends out door.

So I decided to take a little time off not doing any work over the sunny Saturday. I took my wife and drove about 25 miles up to the Fountain Hills town. Here we go. The great fountain shoots the water to the sky. It’s really beautiful. We say so many people with their families picnic on the green lawn.

I lost count how many people are hanging out without using computer or surfing Internet. That’s real life. There is even a wedding event around the small lake. It took us about 30 minutes to walk around the lake. It’s not very big, but fairly big enough.

As you can see in the photo, there is not cloud. It’s one of the best things to live in sunny Arizona. We have 300 sunny days a year. There is just one thing killing me. Allergy.

So what do I confess about?

Like I said. I was twittering, blogging, and communicating with friends and strangers. Yeah. I already cut the time on watching TV (the #7 tips to increase productivity), but I turn that time into twitter time. That makes no sense. So I felt guilty. Now I felt much better, because I get to hang out with my lovely wife for the sunny afternoon and friends for dinners.

I totally forget about twittering, blogging and things I am so addicted to do. That is a great feeling. I guess I should do something like this every week or twice a week. This gives me a chance to put myself together and keep my schedule on my track.

After all, work hard (make living) and play hard (enjoy life) are equally important.
