What is your Passion?! Well, for your sake, I hope you could answer this question quickly. I am reading a book right now & one of the characters loves to meet people with a passion & let them talk about it. She said that it didn't matter how boring the subject was because if a person is busy talking about their passion then the happiness rolls off of them & it is contagious and it is fun to see what people get excited about. WHY DID THIS STRIKE ME SO HARD?! I thought to myself, what is my passion? What would people see my face light up about when I talk about it? ...and more importantly...
WHAT makes me HAPPY?... and why am I not spending more time doing it?!
Well, I made a big long list & I got it sorted out into 2 categories.
Things I like to do: Hiking, skiing, friend time, family time, games, cooking, scrapbooking, & nightly walks
Then these are the things that I get excited about if I could go out & do them right now:
1-Decorating (mainly for any party or holiday)
2-Romantic gestures (notes, surprises, massages, etc.)
3-Taking pictures
4-Shopping for new clothes
BUT, which one is my passion?! I've decided that I have so many things I like to do that I spend too much time trying to do them all & they all seem to drown each other out. My goal now is to spend a lot of time doing the things I love & see if any of them can turn into a passion! NOW, what I really want to hear is... WHAT IS YOUR PASSION?
And then I want to make sure & put a prego update: The prego party is OVER! The first 6 months was a breeze, then I've been tired & so sick with indigestion that I can hardly get things done despite trying to repaint my entire house (still happening). Yuck! I'm almost done with month 7 so hopefully it starts to look uphill! Plus I've doubled in size, but I don't have a picture because Vic BROKE MY CAMERA :( So hopefully I'll get a new one soon!
Oh I'm so sorry--heartburn is really the worst! Talk to your doctor--there are over the counter meds that you can take (and finally sleep again...) Sorry about the camera too.
ReplyDeleteI know how pregnancy can do that to you. Spekaing of passions though, I sent Victor an invite to give you on facebook to become an author on my cooking blog if you are interested. Let me know or you could send me your e-mail (via inbox of facebook-add me as a friend :)and I could send you the invite and letter explaining what we are doing in the blog and the answers to those camera questions you had. I have a link and all kinds of stuff if you want it. Wow, I just wrote a lot just now.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I think my passion probably changes all the time. One thing I do LOVE to do is plan and look forward to a vacation. I could do that all the time, but the problem is, I rarely get to actually GO on the vacation! (: One day, you and Vic have to go to Europe with us and show us the ins and outs--maybe when we are old and rich?
ReplyDeleteOh, and ask your doc about taking Nexium. Nexium was a dream come true for me during my pregnancies. Over-the-counter antacids wouldn't even touch the heartburn/indigestion.
Good post girl. I feel like I put too much energy into way to many things as well. This is a wonderful reminder to slow down and focus on the one I love the most.
ReplyDeleteSorry you haven't been feeling well. Usually that happens in the first few months. Hopefully it doesn't last long. I can't believe you are 7 months already!!! SAAWWEEEEET!!!
