Life is a journey, we've all heard that before. A journey to go places, to meet people, and to figure out what in the hell it is we're supposed to be doing in our time on this earth. 

I've been struggling with that particular one lately. The fact that I'm almost 40 and still working an after school job at a bike shop weighs heavily on my mind. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job. Well, most days, like normal people. But at the same time, I feel like something is missing. Like I'm meant for something bigger, something where I feel I actually make a difference in peoples' lives. Not quite sure what it is that I'm supposed to do, or, really, how to figure it out. 

Don't get me wrong. I am happy. I love my life. I'm super grateful for the wonderful experience I get to have, the places I get to go, the fact that my husband is awesome, not to mention super tolerant, of my lack of a "real" job. But it's for these very things that I feel I have to give back. 

The question is, how? In what vein? Where do I start? HOW do I start figuring that out? 

This one is going to become part of my mission for this year. It's something I'm going to try to explore on every run, during every experience, in my spare time... And maybe, if I listen to my instincts, I can figure it out....
