You know how some days you look up at the clock and those minutes drag on for…ev…er? And some days you look up and it’s 5 o’clock and you feel like you’ve only been there for a couple of hours? The latter has happened to me a lot recently. The days are just going by so fast here at camp. There is a lot of work to be done to get ready for summer camp……booklets to print, registrations to process, ringing phones to answer, mail to open, t-shirts to order, payments to process, e-mails to respond to…. The list seems never-ending. And I love it.
I love being here. I love walking down the hill to work in the morning (not driving 15 minutes to get to work). I love seeing my husband multiple times during the day. I love eating lunch with my friends. But beyond those things, I love doing what I do here at camp. I love working with Mary & Ben & Russ to keep things running smoothly. I love being part of our Guest Services team, where we look at the Retreat groups that are coming and assessing how we can serve them better. I love the community that is New Life Ranch. I am grateful for this opportunity to call this my “job” right now.
School is going well too….we will start up a new semester next week. Only 2 more classes to take, and 420 more hours of counseling before I finish. Hopefully that will be this time next year. I love what I’m doing there too…..but my thoughts on all of that are still swimming around…..I’ll try to reflect on that part of life soon…
I linked to this in a post I did on people who love their jobs. 🙂
