I see what you're saying about being passionate. I WAS once passionate about religion until it turned on me. I WAS passionate about teaching until I worked with an administration that practically wanted to beat me for being creative. I'm having a hard time finding something to be passionate about. I've become somewhat cynical. So where I do find the passion. I can't even think of something that I'm interested in that I could even remotely be passionate about. I'm kindof tired of fighting too. Anything I'm passionate about I end up fighting for until my idealized view of it is destroyed.

As for travel. That's complicated with a small child and it costs money. Besides a trip is short, then what do you do? spend more money on another trip. Not really my thing.

I think I'm gonna take a Yoga class. The girl teaching only about 8 blocks away starts her next 8 week course at the end of October. I've had a strong interest in this for a long time. It takes money is the only issue so if I get passionate - how much am I gonna spend. We'll see how this first course goes. It's early in the evening so won't interfere with family time much and won't get in the way of day care hours either. Wish me luck. It will be good to maybe let my body get back into shape after all the trama it's been through this year. Maybe that's what I need - to take care of my body first and my mind will find the path I need.
