What do you want to do?

Seems like an innocent enough question, don't you think? I thought so too; that is until I tried to answer it.

You see, a friend and co-worker of mine has been hanging out on a web site called 43things.com. The premise behind the site is that it creates a community of people based on the things you want to do, see/visit or read. So after much proding, I created an account and logged in. The first thing it asked is..."What do you want to do?" I should have a ton of things to put there and coming up with a list of 43 things should not be difficult, right? WRONG!

I'm at a total blank. Everything that came to mind are things that other people want me to do. For example, finding a husband or finishing my BA degree are things my family and friends want me to do. They are not my dreams.

I don't think it is accurate to say that I don't have my own dreams. It is just that up to this point, I have accomplished pretty much everything that I wanted to. I have great family and friend relationships. I absolutley love my job. While my church leaves something to be desired, my faith is still very important in my life. I have traveled and am continuing to travel. I am also doing some recreational stuff, including the Raven's Marching Band and having season tickets to the Orioles.

So, what else do I want to do? What else do I want to accomplish? Learn? Travel to? I don't know. But, I will keep you up to date!
