A friend posted the quote below as their status of Facebook in tribute to Steve Jobs. While we are not an Apple/Mac family, I vividly remember using an Apple computer in primary school and we both use phones that are in response to the iPhone. So when I read this I couldn't help but think he hit the nail on the head with this statement...
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it" - Steve Jobs.
I believe I speak for both of us when I say - we are blessed, we are there. Now, don't let me fool you, we aren't exactly there, but we are to the point that we can see the end. Once Andrew is in private practice accepting eggs and milk for payment and I am herding goats we will be "there" but that isn't now...and for now, this is it. I love what I do - I love helping a small community get the funds necessary to repair their water system or to build a new road for an industrial park that will bring 200 new jobs or to help write land use/zoning ordinances that protects the community's interest but allows them to grow in a healthy, smart way. Andrew loves helping people, helping them understand their illness, helping them get well, helping them stay healthy, and watching kids grow. We are blessed and I pray that others may had this joy as well.
