I've occasionally known people who have made that comment about their 
work.  A longtime science fiction writer, editor, and speaker of my 
acquaintance has said that of his work.  I know that Isaac Asimov loved 
his work.  They are truly the happiest and luckiest people.

Or, as George Burns put it, "It's very important, when you get up in the 
morning, to love what you're going to do that day.  I never could make any 
money in bed.  And I always envied my sister Goldie, because she could."
