What makes me happy? How do I know it?

My favorite church events are meals. My favorite part of Al-Anon is going to lunch after the meeting. I love eating lunch with a friend. Years ago when I was a therapist, my supervisor criticized me for how I greeted clients in the waiting room and took them to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee before we went to my office to talk. He said I welcomed people as if they were entering the living room of my house. I took his criticism as a compliment because I had been trained that it was the relationship that healed clients and he saw me behaving exactly as I meant to behave. I used to romance the idea of furnishing my office as a kitchen with a round oak table in the center and a coffee pot on the counter where I could sit with clients and talk. I spend a lot of time alone due to the nature of my work, but it has become very clear to me that I am wired to connect and I love talking with people in a relaxed setting.
