Tootin' my horn!

I know it's not nice to brag on yourself, but I think it can be warranted sometimes. I will admit that I like being a physical therapist most days of the week. I can get tired and wish I had the days off to play, but I can't think of anything else in the "real world" that I would rather be doing. Of course, I wish I could sing and dance so I could be the next "American Idol" or the winner of "So You Think You Can Dance", but God did not bless me with the ability to carry a tune or rhythm. I often tell people this is because I would be trying to be a big star rather than doing what He had planned.

It's nice to be reassured from time to time that you are doing what you are meant to. Today, a patient got a little choked up after he realized how great he was doing and said, "It pisses me off to see people doing a job that you know they weren't meant to...you know they should be doing something else. But you are doing what you are meant to do. You are good at what you do, and I thank you for helping me." That simple comment meant a lot to me. Maybe it will help getting up in the morning to go to work a little easier....especially since tomorrow is Saturday and I have to work an 8 hour day!

To all of you that are in the right job, you know what I mean.....for those of you who aren't....maybe it's time to find that right job!
