Joy shared is joy doubled

And I want to share mine with someone, if you don't mind.

I've been in school for a degree in Counseling and Human Services and just completed my first practicum working in my field. Altho my stint with my site ended with the school term, I'm still volunteering because I want to. Yesterday I ended up working with my husband at the office (he volunteers also) and it was a really great day.

We talked about it last night and I learned a few things about myself through his insights.

I love my job. I've suddenly found myself doing something so rewarding and so engaging that I feel like a new woman. My husband (who has worked with me several times and places during our marriage) told me that he watched me "light up from the inside the moment I hit the door" and that my boss took him aside to tell him that I've been "a blessing" to the organization. He said he's never seen me so happy before.

He's right. I've never ever felt like I fit in anywhere before. I've never felt emotionally connected to a job, to a task, to a cause before. Suddenly I do and I feel blown away by being a cog in this machine. I'm doing something worthwhile and enjoyable and satisfying. It's utterly amazing.

I've decided to pursue a Bachelor's degree in my field rather than stop with an Associate's. I've never entertained the hopes of going farther than the Associate's degree. Suddenly I feel as though I'm on the right road after blundering around in the dark for ages. Not only the right road, but actually headed in the right direction, going toward the biggest adventure of all.

Tl;dr... poster is giddily in love with a job for the first time in her life and has become enchanted with optimistic possibilities. Heading for a happy ending perhaps.

Good for you! It's so great that you've finally clicked with something. I ended up getting a masters in counseling, and while it was by far the hardest thing I've ever done, it's also been the most rewarding and personally fulfilling experience that I could ever imagine.

I'm so happy for you! I hope I get a job that gives me that much joy when I graduate. *gives you internet high-five*

I want to say I'm so happy for you and also thank you, because as someone who's gone through a lot of counseling, the best help I've ever gotten is from people like you who love what they're doing and shine happily as they do it. It's knowing people like you are out there who care about crazies/people in need like me that sometimes keeps us going, so THANK YOU.
