Work is fun?

One of my dreams is to be able to work for myself from home.

I’ve often dreamt of doing this by photography, graphic design, selling my crafts, soap making, and dabbling in whatever other interests me. I want to create things, and being a project manager just ain’t cutting it. I long for something new, something different, where I can put my skills to use. Something where I feel in control, not that it’s controlling me.

At the same time though, when I have done something I love, photography, proofing the pictures can be a royal pain. I sit there for hours, analyzing (and over analyzing) the pics. I work for so long editing the pictures that my eyes get blurry and I start to get a headache. Not good at all!

It makes me think- I love photography and taking pictures. When it is a job though, won’t that sometimes make it more stressful than it is enjoyable?

I just need to realize that nothing is perfect and that in the end, what doesn’t kill me will make me stronger. As long as I’m enjoying what I do, isn’t that’s all that matters.

What do you think- do you think if you had to do something you love as “work” every day, would it become a chore?

My fallback position is, to realize as I quickly approach retirement age, maybe I can work at something fun while I am retired from the 5 day a week grind…I will need to do something, since there will still be bills to pay while I dream of being a lottery winner…

 

ps..Today had that bad vibe for some reason which took me awhile to figure out, until I noticed the date..today is my first husband's birthday. Though I divorced that cheater over 30 years ago, I guess that date will stick in my head, like July 20 when our divorce became official.  D-i-v-o-r-c-e became final today...remember that song?
