First of all, my primary duty in my job is to listen. I sometimes forget this, but it also means I should be listening to myself. Part of this daily journey in thankfulness has helped remind me of this.
Today I went to a front desk, for a meeting. The person that greeted me (or actually didn't greet me) left me thinking, "Well...she really loves her job..." At first it annoyed me a little but as I thought about it a little bit more I felt less and less annoyed and more grateful. I love my job. I feel like (most days) it is a privilege to do the work that I do. I love listening to people's stories and helping them find a new way of looking at it. I love helping them find solutions, or even just listening. I love the fact that I see a little bit of everyone in my practice - and I also love the fact that my job isn't just clinical - that there is a business side of it. I love the fact that the company I work for values work/life balance. I love the fact that I get to pick the parts of my job that I like the most, and do those the most. I am so blessed in this area of my life. Do I feel this way every minute of every day? Probably not. But I certainly feel like this most of the time.
Dear Father. Thank you for blessing me with a job in a field that I love. Thank you for the fact that my job and I are well aligned. Thank you for all I have learned in my job and thank you for continuing to challenge me in this area. Amen.
