All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life. -- M. C. Richards
What you do for a living is not who you are. You are more, much more, than that.
It's easy to get so caught up in what we do that we're only identifying ourselves through our daily tasks. I am a mechanic. I am a parking lot attendant. I am a doctor. I am a dishwasher. When we link ourselves too closely to our jobs, we deny ourselves the chance to ever be anything else.
God gave us the power to change. You're more than what you do. You're a vital vibrant soul that came here to experience, grow, and change. Make a masterpiece out of your life.
God, help me realize the glory of my soul. Thank you for my mortality and for the ability to learn and grow.

Thanks to both of you. Doll that was classic. I needed that chuckle.
I see people around that struggle on a daily basis and I do too. Not, having money for rent, food, gas and so forth. Listening to them say that they dont want to work at a job, because its not what they want to do. And, at the sometime complaint. I dont have this or that.
I am in the same boat not working at this time. Not knowing where to get money for food, gas, and now my rent. So, I know that I am going to have take what I can get. Knowing that I am not what my job is. And, my dreams as a writer is not on hold. Its all in time. Thanks again. Big Huge hugs.
