Re: Just Living [Or Living a Dream?]

Ever read "What Color Is Your Parachute"? I'm sure you know it's a well renowned career change/career decision guide. The writers incorporate the spiritual self along with all other aspects.

In short, to "live a dream" or at least love what you do, you need to live using skills and talents tied to things you love to do.

The process is a bit long and you really dig down inside but here is an example. I always wanted to be a professional fisherman. So it takes you through all the skills you need to be a fisherman. Patience, In tune with nature, love the water, drive to learn, - the list goes on. When you identify five or more things you love (or loved as a child) and all the real life talents required to do them, you get a "This is the me that I love" list.

Find a job, or a calling, that entails all or most of these talents, interests and skills, and you are indeed living a dream; loving every day of what you do.

fwiw I am far from reaching this nirvana myself - while I believe I have found that "dream life" it hasn't happened *yet*.

Best to you

Our taste as a man has little to do with what our wife wants/likes/needs. Personally I would love to wear a beard but don't.
ps - you look great w/ beard - its a hard day when we break out the scissors and razors to mow the lawn.

LOL - nuttin like a little privacy huh? Sounds like its time to have a good stern talkin to - boundaries etc.

And I won'd *dare* to ask why or how your SIL gives reason to lock and remove the doorknob from your B/R. Best left to the imagination ..... at least after another cup o' joe.
