"If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life"

On the outside what we've been doing here looks alot like what we do at home.   How is serving the hungry, having coffee with the homeless, and testing the medically uninsured for communicable disease any way different here in Philly than back home?  Here we are sharing crazy stories, being productive together, playing board games, and enjoying the simple pleasures of food like home-baked cookies with our neighbors.    Does this really feel different?  In some ways yes.  We get to "clock out"  .  But in others no- when the hours are over we realize that we are physically tired and must retreat to our room to read.  Ultimately we are realizing that what we do for work and what we do for fun are the same thing.  What we do is both the hardest and the funnest work that can be done.
