Haven't been in more than a decade (I moved to the South in 2004) but each time I visited, I fell a little more in love with the place. <br /><br />As for aha moments - I think perhaps the biggest one came this past summer. I was reading a friend's blog post which was sorta in a round-about way about finding your passion. I have this contentious relationship with the notion that we have to LOVE (in all capital letters) the work we do...and if we don't LOVE the work we're doing, we need to move on. I kinda feel like that's a lot of pressure to put on the idea of work...and that it's a notion born of luxury. At any rate, her post talked about what our musts are - that thing that is a part of us soul-deep and true. Even though I would have never thought it, for me it's all about teaching. I have to teach. It is as much a part of me as my fingernail shape. All from reading a blog post ;)<br /><br />Anyway. Thank you for joining us for Photo Friday this past week!

And what's keeping me here? A job in a restaurant? The fact that I've only ever lived in the Midwest? LAME.

Underpaid, constantly asked for more work without more money, having to chase the business owner down for my paycheck... Aha. I don't have to do that. I'll find another way to pay off a bill, and I'll keep my self-esteem. Thanks for sharing your moment.Robin Follettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089918182390554269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348248785295508602.post-31540038710387545512015-08-03T11:51:14.770-07:002015-08-03T11:51:14.770-07:00Your welcome Valerie!
