A New Career - A New Beginning

So I show up at my "job" at 9:30am 

The front door is unlocked and no one is home but her two cute little dogs.

 It is a lovely home - unique - great pieces - great taste - orderly.

 Just her cabinets / pantry need organized.

 But she is a busy single mom...

AND SO I BEGIN MY FIRST DAY OF HOME ORGANIZER!!!!! 

 6 Solid hours of arranging, sifting through, scrubbing down and then..

recreating "A WORLD OF ORDER!!!!"

A small cash payment - but it might as well have been thousands for the

great feeling of doing what I love - doing it well - and being my own boss!  

"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"

Nursing has been good to me.  It has allowed honest, exciting and meaningful work. 

It has given me opportunities for varied experience, international travel, great reward. 

But lately - with healthcare given that I don't believe in,
(health is all about diet and exercise)

 a sense of entitlement with all patients in the ER,
with many boldly abusing programs I thought I believed in,
well it  has me rethinking what I do. 

 After 30 years in the field I think I have found another way 

"to contribute to society" -
Simplifying, minimizing, organizing and getting rid of stuff

can alter one's  life, outlook and health more than what I've been doing in the ER lately.

And I found something that makes me jump out of bed with enthusiasm.  

(I could have even brought MY DOGS!!!!) 

I may mix both new careers

 (organizing and photography)

by snapping pictures of their kids or dogs at day's end. 

I had the company of this client's darling pups while

I gleefully worked away on my first job.

Here's the little puppy Thank You I sent off to her.

"Change - the only thing constant in life"

But I think I am going to like this change enormously!
