What I'm thankful for

I got a Thanksgiving card from my aunt and for once I took the time to read it well. She rarely does more than sign her name so I don't often give them much scrutiny. On the very top of the front was printed "Today, do what you love".

I do what I love every day. I work myself into the ground because there is nothing I can bring myself to give up, be it conducting, singing, catechizing, coaching, administrating, working with middle-schoolers, high-schoolers, college kids, opera singers. By that mystical combination of hard work and indescribable good fortune I do what I want. What a blessing.
