Finding Joy Beyond Hard Work

Hard work does not make me feel fulfilled. It makes me feel tired and grumpy. It makes me hurt and that doesn’t feel good at all.

But the rewards that come with working hard make me feel happy and satisfied. The last fifteen years I have spent working long hours, but not working real hard. I enjoy the house that I was able to buy. I enjoyed the vacations I was able to afford. I enjoyed the projects and improvements to my house that I had money for.

So I guess that hard work made me feel happy. Now I am ready to enjoy sleeping late and working on crafts and hobbies. I will continue to work hard at writing. Writing does make me feel fulfilled.
