My work is my life

During the last 4 months, I participated in the life of GA with 10 blogs, 6 of them dealing with death problems. It's horrible !

Fortunately, the last blog dealt mainly with the future.

 

Today, I forget the past and also the long term future. I only care what will happen in the next weeks. In exactly one week, next Friday, this will be my birthday. I do not know what my wife and my children are planning to prepare. I dont like too large family celebrations but I'll let them do what they want, it's not my main problem.

 

My real problem, it's the new mandates that I just received. For months, I've never had so much work to do. My clients seem to forget that I am no more 40 years old . Anyway, it's therefore necessary that I should also forget it ! But it is not always easy, especially in the morning, when I have to get up, while the warmth of the bed is holding me back.

 

I often wonder why people come to an old man like me. Maybe my rates are too low and that I should ask for more fees ? But why be more expensive when I dont need more money ?... and the pleasure of working for old friends is far more important than money.

 

With many years experience, it is easier to find good solutions quickly. I work perhaps more quickly than younger others. I forgot most of the theories I had to learn and the years of practice allow me to more easily find the right path.

 

Fortunately, I have no other hobby that my work, I can work at my own pace, and that's what makes me happy.

What are hobbies for? To be relaxation and bring richness to your life.

 

If your work has taken over your life then it is a bad thing and you should ease up and take up a hobby. I your work is an integral part of your life and is what you want and enjoy to do... why fight it and who needs hobbies.

 

You are the most :worship: person dear one

I remember hearing a colleague proudly proclaiming: "some people live to work; I work to live." And I thought, I am living whilst I'm working, and a lot of my life is taken up with working. So if it wasn't something worthwhile and important to me, why would I do it. The ideal is to love what you do, surely.

hobbies ? I have no one "just for the moment". But, as I said in former blogs, A big one is expecting me : writing the story of ma familiy from 1750 to today, from my great-great-grandparents to my children. I have a documentation of about 3000 documents; 500 of them are already classified and the canvas of the story is also already written.

The advantage of such an hobby : I can work at it at my own space, and the work is varied : collect the informations, classify them, make copies of the originals, divid the text in chapters...and write, the only work that need concentration and at least enough continuous hours.
