In my quest to discover and nurture my "passions" (I learned about this from a passion guru) I am trying to be more in tune with the way I feel when I talk about something I do or like or am interested in.  What is a passion you ask? It is something you would do every day if you never got paid. I've defined 2 today, well I've known about them, but they came out of the mist and cleared up in my head as actual passions in my life. They are as follows, (with more to be revealed later):
  • My kids and husband
  • Health and wellness
  • Running. period.
I separated health and wellness from running because I get a different "feeling" when I think of running than when I think of health and wellness. When I think of running, I get all tingly.  When I plan for a run, I am happy and look forward to it.  I define a 'good' run as putting on my shoes and treading long enough to get sweaty and clear my head. Sometimes it takes only 20 minutes, sometimes it goes for an hour.  It doesn't matter how fast or slow I go, or how many "pick-ups" or "sprints" I complete, just that I feel like I've centered my head for the day. 

I stopped, or fell out of habit of this blog because it wasn't my passion.  I felt it was taking me away from my passion, which is my kids and Tim.  I discovered recently a blog and the author has a way of writing and cutting through the distractions and defining how to make the most of time to be spent on what matters most.

That is my passion.

I knew it all along, but have just realized it. Good thing it's not too late. I can make the most of today, today. Yay!!  So, as I make realizations, I'll share what I can. I haven't been totally off the record, I actually dusted off my old Journal out of my bedside table and have been writing in that consistently since January.  I continue to search for clarity, and now have decided that the search can be as amazing as the discovery.  

Hopefully more to come soon!
