• Finding my 'passion'

   

  

  I can't tell you how many times that I have had a great idea, but never followed thru with it...

  There was the time I thought I could write a book, started it, added to it, shelved it, and eventually "lost" it... (still looking for the darn thing, I might want to finish it, it could happen)

  And then there the time I thought I could put together a stellar cook book as cooking is a great passion of mine...after compiling countless recipes and writing hundreds of  "Dea Notes" to add to them as a personal touch, the idea left me as quick as it came to me....I still have the manila envelopes overflowing with paperwork just in case I ever think I might get to that one as well.)

  Way back when I was really young, I thought I could work as an interpreter at the United Nations...I tried to study a language and was not successful.  I have hearing in only one ear due to a childhood defect and therefore have the worst time with hearing and repeating back any language, even English is hard to hear at times!  I did learn that I would have to let that one go, and as an adult, I don't even think we should be a part of the United Nations any longer. 

  I have numerous boxes of extra material, patterns, sewing notions and IDEAS galore for the days I thought I could become a really great seamtress...I can do the simple things, but as for all those designer things I thought I would make...well...they are still in the packages waiting for a really great seamstress to come along and breathe some 'life' into them.  I haven't given up the hope that someone will create them eventually.

  There are so many more of these brainstorming ideas that have been left on the cutting room floor.

  I am still holding onto the notion that I will find that one true thing that is my passion, that makes me feel alive and excited to get up each day, that fills all those little cracks and crevices that remain emplty at this time just waiting for that one thing I decide I need to pursure and finish....until then, I will continue to dream up new ideas to "think" about finishing and wonder which one will finally be the winner!

  Finding my passion has been harder than I thought....but I am not giving up--what is your passion?
