“The fact that you are not happy is because your life doesn’t match the way you think it should be.”

Morning motivation….what better time to start getting motivated a little?

I took a day off work on Friday to get the well drilling process started….and could really notice when it was time to go back to work four days later… after the long weekend.

What is it about a long weekend that makes the “getting back to work” hit you harder?

And….I don’t think it’s some weird fear of “work” that comes around like a bad dog that I’m feeling.

I like to work.

It’s something else.

Why…..maybe it’s the quiet desperation that Thoreau talked about?

Maybe I’m just being a whiner?

Probably…. just being a whiner.

When you think about what it means to return to your job after a break, and you waste a day because the thought of going back is depressing you….what does that say about what you’re doing for a living?

My job is great.

I couldn’t design something that suited me better.

I like independence….I like what I do.

I love taking care of my family.

But….I think about a lot of things….and wonder what kind of job would feel more empowering….what would be satisfying in a way that I never had another day when I felt depressed that “my time” was almost over and the next day I’d be on “their time”.

What would it feel like if work was a constant…and you never noticed when you had to go back to something that didn’t feel….right?

Awwwww….that’s life.

I am so fortunate to have my job.

Maybe I should ask myself, “what would it feel like to stop being such a whiner?”

Things are good.

I just need to enjoy work as much as the weekend.

That’s an internal issue.

I should be able to get a handle on that…right?

I need to figure out what I think my life should be……
