I think flying for a living is something I was born to do. I can't think of anything else I'd rather do. If I didn't fly, I don't know what job I would have. Probably take over a family business, but I can tell you that job is even worse. Sure I'd be home a lot more, but its a miserable job on your knees all day installing/refinishing wood floors. After a few weeks of that, you just get sick of it. Get sick of being sore all the time, sweating like there's no tomorrow. Believe me, there are plenty of jobs out there that are far worse then flying for a living. Flying is something that has come natural to me, and thats what I expected. As a little kid its all I've ever wanted to be and I spent more time reading aviation books then doing my homework in school. For me flying isn't just a joy, its a passion. Its a life long dream I've had since I can remember. I breezed through my flight training and just developed a great natural ability to be a good pilot. Not that I was gifted, but because I believe its just something that been in my blood forever.

I enjoy fishing and doing those things as well, hopefully I will be able to find a good balance between them all. I just got back from flying 6hrs today with my student, sure beats working for a living.

I just got a little down in the dumps there for a bit because I've been waiting to move back home to instruct there, I'm just waiting for a position to open.
