It’s funny how this quote popped up now. I’m having problems with my training for Vol State. I usually love both walking and Vol State. At this point, I don’t love either. Although… I noticed that things felt better this past week when I started to vary my route.

This tells me I still love walking because i love what I see all around me. And that’s the key to everything joyous.

My last job in the navy and as a civilian for the army involved paperwork and just reading cases. Boring? Nope. I looked at each case as a mystery. There was always so much more to a person than what their paperwork showed. I acted like Jessica Fletcher in “Murder, She Wrote” (for those of you old enough to remember). And it made what I did something I totally enjoyed. Sure there were times it wasn’t “exciting” but when that happened, I still reminded myself that this was someone’s future that I was attending to and it was my responsibility to do the best by that person. I loved it.

When did I retire? When it stopped being fun.

What do you really love? Ask yourself that every day and then make sure you’re doing as much of that in your life as you can.
