I love my life…..now. It has taken me 61-years to figure out what is best for me and for me to be happy. Yes, I have been happy thousands of times in my life, but not a comfortable happy. I understand how to learn from my unhappiness and how to turn the unhappy moments into memorable and valuable moments.

The birth of my child will always be the number one happiest moment of my life. Oh boy have we had some major mom/daughter arguments, but I am truly happy for each and every one of them because I believe we have both grown from these disagreements and our love has grown. I truly believe we learn from my children so many valuable lessons, just as our children learn from us.

I have had so many jobs in my life because I am a runner. Not the kind of runner that becomes energized because they beat their last 5k time….(Although, I was once that kind of runner too,) but a runner that runs when she feels she is not good enough at a job or she becomes insecure or bored. I want to announce….I LOVE MY JOB!!!! For the first time in my life I honestly love my job and the satisfaction I have when I leave to go home for the night.

I feel so appreciated and I love all my co-workers. Yes, I have always pretty much loved my co-workers, but my past jobs have become a chore instead of a pleasure. I actually wake up excited to go to work. Loving your job helps you love your life. I finally love my life because of the job I spend most of my time at. This my fellow readers is half the battle in loving life.

I may be almost 61-years-old, but I finally feel stable with my job. As I have stated before in my posts, I am a workaholic and I plan to work until at least 72-years-old, and then I hope they let me go to part-time….lol. When you have a job you love and co-workers who are beyond what I would call “family,” life is amazing and enjoyable.

Most people look forward to retirement, but today was a very exciting day because my incredible boss, caring administration, and my amazing co-workers showed me how awesome life can be when you love your job. This post is a tad longer than I wanted it to be, because I love short blog posts, but I was beyond excited today with my AH-HA (thank you Oprah) moment.

My lesson today is to never give up on seeking a job you love. I couldn’t be happier where I work.
