In Search of my Joie de Vivre
I guess its high time I blogged about my plans. It really hard to decide what to do with your life. Of course, I made the usual new year's resolutions like sticking to my budget and improving my attendance at work. But a little part of me is not satisfied with just a simple list of things to work on for the coming year.
The future has been on my mind for the past couple of months. I'm just a few months away from turning thirty, and, frankly, I've never been able to imagine what my life would be like at this point. It has always been too far away. Thirty years old sounded ancient back then, and as the years progressed, I never really noticed that the years have been adding on. Sometimes I still think of myself as 22, almost fresh out of college and still trying to take on the world.
So in the last few months before this monumental event, my heart has been clamoring for a rekindling of my passions.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that in a romantic sense. My marriage is rock solid, and we're both going strong. But sometimes I wonder if my passion is just for the wonderful man that I married. Why do other people seem more alive than me? Are we really just being buried by work and the trappings of our responsibilities?
Well 2011, let's travel through his philosophical journey together and see where we come out, eh?
