Worthwhile work

I did a post partum visit with a woman who had a very nice birth recently and it was number 4 baby. She had 3 previous deliveries with a physician. At our visit after the work was done we were just talking about life the universe and everything and the BirthMom said that she was so inspired by my obvious love of what I am doing that she was going to go back to school and take lots of different classes until she found something to do that she loves as much as I love doing midwifery. I was really honored and surprised. I do love doing true midwifery care. I love having good births. I was thrilled to be able to help her birth. I certainly hope she follows through. I find that when you love what you do, you never really "go to work".
