Wondering

If maybe my 'big' purpose is to be there for others. it seems no matter how I start something out, I tend to turn into a nurturer. I seem to be the one that steps in and consoles.

I wonder if this is a true calling, or if it is something I fell into. I wonder if it is a good thing or not.

And I don't have any answers.

A Start

George Bernard Shaw said, "This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."


This is a joy I am seeking!

My Bucket list for this year...

Since I am more of a live in the moment kind of gal, I don't think that far ahead ( I don't plan on kicking the bucket for a really long time) so I am working on a list for 2008. Things I would like to accomplish, as well as things I want to do. The difference? An accomplishment is more far reaching... a 'do' is more like go to a place, or bungee jump (nope, that ain't on the list!).

In no particular order:

• Get my house clean and keep it that way
• become more organised
• set up an online store of some sort for my jewelry
• make jewelry daily
• meet more of my online friends
• travel a little other than family visits and to someplace other than Florida
• volunteer more
• live with purpose, not by chance
• act, not react
• lose another 30-40 lbs
• learn to exercise

It almost sounds like a list of resolutions... but I want these things to come part of my lifestyle, not just be the list. I know that a neater, more pared down home will bring me more peace, the organization goes hand in hand. The jewelry aspect of things is for me, to feed my creative soul .
Weight and exercise- well they go hand in hand, and a healthier me will enjoy my life more. And my life is not complete without giving back to others. So let's see how I do. I am starting with a messy, cluttered slate. We'll see how long it takes me to clear it.

A Vacation Home

I guess I could call this place that... somewhere to be a different me... a relaxed me one that has a sane side, a controlled life and peace.
Let's see how that goes!
