God, it feels good to get back to doing what I do well.

I'm cranking out grants today. It reminds me why I love my job. I really believe in what we do at the homeless shelter (though there are systemic changes that I would like to make as well).

But, I have the perfect balance in my job. I have the freedom to command for myself what I do from day to day. I get to be creative (somewhat). And, I get to wake up everyday looking forward to going to work. I love the people I work with (who decorated my office with Peruvian male models to greet me upon my return).

But, most importantly, I feel like I get to make a difference by going to work every day. I can't imagine (and don't want to think about it) going to work everyday and not getting that feeling. I've had those jobs. This is so much better. It makes me a better person everyday.
