This little post needs to be tucked away here in between all the "important" stuff...I L O V E what I do! And today I'm doing it during the DAYTIME and not in the wee hours of the night.
On the other hand, like any profession, vocation or job-there are days I want to throw in the towel, light a (SparklePuss) match and smile wickedly while it all burns to the ground. (sometimes it's just intense!)
But today, is an amazing day...I am HOME ALONE - working (UNinterrupted) - listening to KCMS - filling and packaging orders - answering emails - flirting with my husband online - mixing perfume - singing at the top of my lungs because no one can hear me...getting twisted in bubble mask (!) and my children are gone today in good hands and I T I S G O O D.
iTunes is like on 11 (spinal tap - the movie!) and I'm rocking out! Even though I work at home, I eat at my desk, wait too long to take potty breaks (why waste time going to the bathroom when there's fun stuff to do!?!?!) and trip over the cat while I'm procrastinating packaging one more flat rate box of candles.
If I never make a cent-I'll still do it...I just love juggling all the tasks and challenges of "balancing" a family and home business(es)...and I'm like the BEST BOSS, to boot! I give my employees (ME!) plenty of fresh water and yummy chocolate...two VITAL components of a happy life!
In sharp contrast to my amazing and truly abundant life of freedom...there are so so so very many across the globe who suffer on a daily basis from real danger, fear, malnutrition, and hopelessness among other life-threatening and discouraging things. They are always lurking in the margins of my mind and as I think of them, I have endless gratitude to the Lord for His great blessing on my life.
So maybe I'll read this post on one of those "burn it all down" days...and have a sense of perspective.
I LOVE WHAT I DO!
