Tree of Life

In one of the proverbs it says "a desire fulfilled is a tree of life"

I was thinking about that at work recently as I was making some bread. I have really enjoyed myself doing this because I find food science really interesting, and making my own method has meant I can get the grey cells working again and put some of what I remember into practice. The fact the bread also worked out well and tastes good is a bonus.
The proverb is probably talking about deeper things than enjoying baking. But, I think it is good to do things you enjoy. It is good to express the creativity or talents God has given you.
If we limit ourselves and never step off the treadmill then we become dull grey robots. If we often try new things, or spend time in creation, or enjoy the skills God has given us, then we become people who are free to try things out in the spirit too, people who are ready for "God adventures".
