gratitude – What’s here now?

A day off today between a twelve hour shift yesterday and another one tomorrow. In my old job this would have depressed me greatly but these days I couldn’t feel better about it. Such is the profound magnitude and good fortune to have work that you love. Work that is somehow an extension or expression of who and what you are. And often we don’t know who and what we are until the work allows us to express ourselves. A chicken and egg situation but such is life.

Today will be spent contemplatively, outside in nature, inside with coffee and perhaps an invigorating run down by the river later. But mostly in gratitude for, well, everything really.

Beautiful cool morning. Grateful to simply be today. What a glorious start to a twelve hour shift.

Exhausted at the end of another twelve hour shift. Exhausted but still somehow feeling very alive, energised, fulfilled and rewarded. It’s at moments like this I feel particularly grateful to be so lucky to have work that I love that provides me with so much more than any amount of money could.
