Ya know, they (whoever 'they' are) say that when you find your niche and purpose, you are at your happiest! This couldn't be more true.
I was fortunate enough to find mine early in life...Camping. I can't tell you how happy I am right now to be at camp. Not that I don't love Indy, or the people in Indy...but I am in my element here at camp. I love to do dumb things with the staff as bonding time, star-gaze off the observation deck, light fireworks in the middle of the night, plan fun games and programs for the kids, building relationships with the other people here, hang out with the maintenance guys, lose 8 billion keys, etc.
As most of you know, I hate storms...like...im pretty much deathly terrified of them. Always have been. And we've had more storms in the past 3 days than we had ALL SUMMER last year. In fact, we saw 3 tornadoes a couple days ago. I almost crapped myself. But even though that part of camp sucked (mainly because I'm the one that's supposed to remain calm) I still love it here and don't wish to be anywhere else.
It's funny because I got comfortable in Indy. Office work...yeah...pretty much hate sitting at a desk all day, but I managed because of the cool people in my building...however, after being out here, I realized I've been cheating myself by sitting at that desk. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I'm planning on staying there a couple more years, but when I'm not doing what I was designed to do, I lose touch...and motiviation.
And that's why it's amazing to be back out here! I'm home at Hidden Falls. It's like one big giant party (and yes, we are working). Puts a huge smile on my face :)
