I saw a Venn diagram on Facebook yesterday that had three circles along the lines of “stuff you like doing”, “stuff you are good at”, and “stuff people will pay you to do”. The intersection of those three circles was your dream job.
It again made me realise how wonderful it is that I do have a job that I love so much. Sure, there’s things about what I do that I don’t enjoy (resaving pics and text to go into a phone app, anyone?!), but there’s so much that I do love.
Over this past week, doing the projects for the Quilting in the Highlands Retreat, I have just been so energised and had so much fun.
Of course, there’s no regular paycheck, and I don’t contribute much to the family finances, but I love what I do, and it fits beautifully with our family’s needs.
I hope I’m able to keep doing what I do for a very long time yet! (And with the number of book ideas that I have, it is quite possible that it could happen!)
