So okay, it's been asked of me in recent days, Can't you just slow down? Why do you work so much they ask? The truth is, yes, I'm a workaholic or so I have been told. I enjoy working, I feel useful and productive. I enjoy earning a great living and I enjoy making a great life for myself. I believe I can have and do both, make a great living and make a great life.
Truth be told, My job with Prevent, Inc is a great dream come true. I have many moments while working with Prevent where I just have to pinch myself and wonder if this is really work? I get to travel to some of my favorite cities, see some amazing sites, stay in nice hotels, enjoy different people, drink spirits in cool bars, and eat meals out til my heart is content. How lucky am I?
I still pick up shifts at the hospital near my house. Working at the hospital is definitely different from my experiences with Prevent, but I like it nonetheless. Nursing in an acute setting has changed in the years, but I'm still very challenged and I'm honored to say that I'm still in awe of the miracles I see performed in that ER. I still believe I make a difference in people's lives whether large or small.
So yes, I probably put in way too many hours and work much harder than I really need to, but I really enjoy. The older I get, the more I realize I can't really sit still, my mind is constantly wondering what I will do next. I do enjoy hanging out with my husband and my friends, I don't miss out on much.
Work hard, play hard....a way of life!
Enjoy your view!
