Two realizations happened this afternoon The first being, it's infinitely easier to shop for 10 people when only 2 people go to the grocery store, and the second being, I really enjoy AmeriCorps.
I became cognizant of the latter after our side trip to Rite Aid. Rite Aid is currently doing their version of McDonald's Monopoly game with the game of LIFE. The cashier there asked me if I wanted to play, I declined and was then promptly told by Nelson that we, as a team, are playing and I did in fact need to get the game pieces being offered. Once back in the car Nelson asked if I one any instant wining prizes. I said "what like, $1,000,000? If so, good by AmeriCorps."
I then thought about what I said, and added "it would be a real test of character to see if I would stay with NCCC if I won." And as soon as I said that, I thought even more and realized, yes, I would stay with NCCC.
Don't worry, this isn't my way of saying I did in fact win $1,000,000 (that's not even the grand prize). But it is my way of saying that I am truly happy where I'm at right now and this is exactly what I want to feel for the rest of my life. I want to be so content with where I am, what I'm doing and who I'm with, that money really is not an object.
My mom always said, do what you love.
And for the first time, I actually know I am.
