Sense of purpose

I've never been one of those who can just watch TV for hours, spend entire Summers without a plan, or even enjoy life just being.  I was born with a sense of purpose, a relentless need to accomplish.  When I was younger my body could go on non-stop working several shifts, sleeping little, and not having any down time.  As I get older I need more personal "quiet" time; time to reflect, to plan, to envision, to dream.  Some days I envy people who are at ease just being.  I'm not one of those.  But most of the time I am content with my inner drive.  I was given much and as such much is expected of me so I seek to find that sense of purpose.

  1. I spent a lot of time reading today while the kids played. I felt a little guilty, but it was so nice to have that time :)
