So, I wrote another article, and another, and another. I started making friends on the site and reading some interesting articles and it was fun.

Suddenly, I realized that I was not restless any more. I had found what was missing from life. I had been writing for years, but few people had ever read anything that I wrote and eventually I had given it up, only writing the occasional tribute to someone when I was asked to do so.

I simply did not realize how much I missed writing or how necessary it was to my sense of well being and happiness.

Writing for Triond and then for other sites brought me the fulfillment I had been missing.

What is more, the more views I got, the more comments I received the more my self confidence grew.

Now I have actually started making money at my writing. While it won’t make me rich my income has increased enough that I have started thinking about the possibility of writing full time as a career in another year or so.

I have always worked hard at whatever job I have held, but never before have I had a job that I loved so much or felt was so much of a challenge.

I can’t wait to get up each morning and get to the computer, my head filled with ideas for articles!

My husband jokes, that I will someday make us both rich and when we retire he will be a house husband and I can sit and earn all the money. He has been so supportive of my writing. He keeps saying how he always felt I was wasting my time at my day job when he knew how smart and talented I always was.

I don’t know if he is right about the smart and talented part but I do know that I love writing and doing something you love so much and getting paid for it is the greatest thing on earth.

Finding my niche in life has changed my life in so many ways big and small, that I feel blessed each and every day for this opportunity I have been given.

I love the challenges, I love the friends I am making, I love, not the money, but the fact I can make money doing something that is a joy to do, and I love Triond for giving me the chance to discover what was missing in life.

Instead of simply having a job, I know have a career and am doing something I not only love but am proud of doing. It is a wonderful, exciting feeling.
