content, happy and all that...

Have I told you lately how much I enjoy what I do?

I just completed some updates to a few of my client sites, and there's such a feeling of... mmm, how can I say this... worthiness? self-worth? Like people really need me. I'm getting my strokes on a regular basis.

I've said that from the beginning, about creating things for others, and getting positive feedback, which feeds my need for approval and love (nevermind the psychobabble about getting that from within myself blahblahblah). I need it like I need water. That's just the way it is.

You could say that's what I get from saving lives as well - although it's generally not an immediate reaction from the people that I'm "saving" - it's more from within. Knowing that without me and the treatment that I'm giving, that person may not do very well.

Some time ago, when I was all tied up in my mental history and experiences and just generally screwed up, I remember running across research having to do with the type of person who enters the health care profession. How there's a certain type of personality, and how their own life experiences influenced their reasons for doing so. I know that having been abused in one form or another was a common denominator for many... I don't remember the particulars, but I know that it made a lot of sense at the time that I read it.

Anyway... as usual I've gone off on a tangent. :)

I just wanted to come in here and share a little happy dance with y'all, 'cos I'm feeling gro-o-o-vy this afternoon.
k?
sharing the luuuv.
