Joy

You managed to work less hours, achieved what is commonly called work-life-balance. But you still don’t feel at ease. There are too many to-dos in your private life. Run errands, get repairs done, and take care of all the administrative stuff. There is no excitement! You’re missing those little adventures with your family, those invigorating walks in nature, and those meaningful conversations over a glass of wine. Balancing the hours at and off work is nice but they will only be fulfilling if there is joy in them!
