What would you do?
| Wed, 03-08-2006 - 12:08pm |
Not to sound melodramatic but I have kind of found myself at a crossroads and would really like to make the most of it.
So I've been thinking about things I might like to do. Things for me not for my children or husband. However, I've been a wife and mom my entire life and not even sure what I really "like" to do.
So my question to you all is: If you could do anything what would it be? It could be something for fun or a huge life changing thing.
Things I've thought about:
- Taking a class on whatever looks good to me. Doesn't have to be job related or anything.
- Take a fitness class.
- Look for a new job.
- Run a 5k (I lose interest in this one pretty quick) lol
Let me know what you would do. I'm hoping to get some ideas flowing for myself.

Mia, thanks for your imput! My sister-in-law did a jazz class when she was in her 30s and had a blast and made some great friends.
I'll take your suggestion about writing in my journal about those things I use to do and have already decided I just have to get a real bicycle. I would ride and ride when I was a teenager and always end up about dead when I finally got back home. Should be a bit of a different experience here in Wyoming but that is on my list of things to do. There's got to be other things right? I'll have to think on it some more.
Also, how brave scuba diving seems intimidateing to me. However, I know a lot of people really enjoy it, also will open up other opportunities for you when you travel.
My Reading Journal
I am an independent distributor for a health and wellness company.
In reading everyone's posts, it really made me think about my life and a lot of my unhappiness. I mean don't get me wrong, I have a great job that I really enjoy, phenominal kids, etc, etc, but I just don't feel fulfilled. Sometimes I think is this it? Is this all there is? I don't want to sound negative, I really do feel very fortunate in a lot of ways, but I guess I just want more.
I pulled up my list on 43 things. I hadn't been there in about 6 months. Of the 41 things I had listed, 1 I had recently done (Be promoted). The rest were things like "Travel to ________ ", "Learn to _______", maybe my ideas are just to grandios, but I just think how will I ever afford to do these things??? I make good money but after taxes and health insurance there went 30% of my check, then there are bills, groceries, teenager expenses, etc and I definitely don't have money to blow on a trip to Italy!
There are things on there that are very attainable-"Learn a new word a day", "Take more pictures", "Be More Outgoing", etc. I guess I should just try to focus more on them.
