Free to Work

It is a public holiday in Kenya today and we are celebrating over 40 years of self rule, or self mismanagement according to some. Most people have the day off to relax and feel patriotic about the nation whose leaders we mostly complain about. On the Diguna mission station, we also have the day off, well at least some of us do. Our Diguna Champions League continued uninterrupted today, taking advantage of the extra day to squeeze in some extra fixtures and that meant that we had to be at work today.

The interesting this is that, we don’t really see it as work, because it is something we enjoy doing. I am mostly reminded by my body later, when I have been working. In my mind, it is something that I enjoy doing so much that it seems as if my work is an extension of my hobby. I believe that most people would find more satisfaction in life if they studied for and got employed in the careers that fulfil their life purpose and that are intertwined with their most pleasurable activities.

I have the afternoon now to sort out the league standings and the mess that is our fixture list. We have made so many alterations to the fixtures that I now have to juggle with the matches every weekend. I would have complained and made a big deal of the whole thing, if I didn’t enjoy it so much. Enjoy your week, and your work, if possible.
