This weekend I was remind twice that my value as a person is not defined by what I do to make a living. The first was at a get together for my oldest son's football team. Over the years my love of photography and the fact that I have some of the best equipment has made me the unofficial team photographer. Most parents have stopped taking their cameras relying on me to take and post photos.
As I thought our gathering might be the last time we would all be together I made my usual team video of still shots that I had taken during the season. Each parent was amazed at the shots of the boys. The fact that I can make them happy with something I love to do reinforces that I am not just a job.
The second time I was reminded of this was as I was working on another home improvement project. Having the right tools and the ability to use them the right way to get the job done really helps boost ones confidence and drive home the fact that I am not just a job.There is something about making sawdust that makes you feel good.
Today's No Job Joy is the satisfaction of completing a project and using talents other than those that people pay you for.
