The Value of a Calling

Today I am happy.

Actually, I'm so happy that I feel like something wants to burst out of my body.

I just finished writing a 3-page paper on a fourth sector organization. It's about a Bakery that provides jobs for homeless people, seeking to get them on the path to self-sufficiency. I love the idea of an organization that helps the community, while at the same time achieves business success.

More than that,  I love that my job today was to write this paper.

I've just finished writing this paper at Starbucks, which is filled with high school who have trickled here from next door.

I can't help but remember what it was like to have no sense of purpose. Not to say it's bad. Just that I have this mission in life, and in high school... the only mission was to "appear cool".

I have completely lost any gauge of "coolness". It's Friday today, and I'll go to Zumba, then retreat to my cute apartment and try to finish another paper.

Today I'm grateful for my sense of purpose. If others are seeking a purpose, I hope they find it too.
