Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
-Confucius
A colleague of mine posted this quote in her blog today and when I read it I couldn't help but repost it. It's absolutely the truth. I just can't imagine going to work at a restaurant or retail or even behind a desk full time after doing this job. Every morning I wake up at 6:30 in the morning and within a few minutes I have a smile on my face. (It takes a moment to wake up!) Never once have I woken up and thought "I don't want to go to work!" Don't get me wrong "I want more sleep" is a frequent thought, but I never dread going to schools or having to get up and get out there. I go to schools all day long, but in reality, it feels like I am on vacation, just running errands. It's surreal. It doesn't feel like a job at all. Just life. And at the end of the day, after a couple school visits, I may be tired, but I'm never bored. I can't count how many days I've looked at my schedule and said, "Wow! I'm done!? That went so quickly!" Sure, I miss being home sometimes and eating alone gets boring, but overall this job is fantastic. I love it. I'm so blessed and thankful to be doing it.
Livin' the good life and lovin' every minute
