Joyous Jobs & Wild Work
Nostalgia is finding value within the little moments and our larger memories. As a member of the Photomyne family, we know the past holds a special place in your heart, and we welcome you to our weekly newsletter of nostalgic photos.
It’s the beginning of March, and our next real vacation is just out of reach, but there’s no time like the present to appreciate being in work mode. Whether it’s a sense of purpose or a way to pay the bills, being on the job can bring so much joy and opportunity into our lives. There’s no better tiredness than how you feel after that fulfilling day of work, and there’s no better feeling than returning home with that long day in your rearview.
Work allows us to meet new people, learn new skills, and as Dolly Parton once said, it’s quite “a way to make a livin.” Further, they often give us memories and stories that last a lifetime.
