Purpose

Saturday, October 14, 2006

Tomorrow Erich and I are leaving for New York to visit his brothers and his family -- our nephews!!!! We get to see Kaleb for the first time since he was born, about a month ago. And Connor's birthday was last week, so it's the perfect time for us to go.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about purpose in life. I have experienced several life changes over the last few months, finishing grad school, getting married, moving and finally I am no longer working full-time but 3/4-time. This last change has left me with a lot more free time than I have had in a long time and in many ways I am enjoying it. But the time has also left me feeling empy and devoid of purpose. I was designed for more productivity, more purposeful action than watching tv or reading for several hours a day. So I've been pursuing what it measnt o have purupose -- is redecorating my house enough productivity? Or developing a hobby for cooking? Or will I find my purpose in a new job or a volunteer opportunity?

I've been left with a lot of unanswered questions that I will continue to seek answers for........
