For years my driving desire in life was to grow up, get and education and move away from my small Alabama town to start my life. I succeeded and moved away to a medium sized Alabama town to go to University where my drive to grow up, get an education and move away continued in full force. I graduated & took a job two states away. I still didn't feel like I had grown up or "made it". Since then, I have moved two more times, gotten married and given birth to a wonderful little boy but still the "is this where I'm meant to be?" question lingers.
I always told myself that one day I would feel like I finally "made it" and I could slow down and figure out what I like to do....get a hobby, find something I love to do, something I feel passionate about. I'm almost 35 and I'm still not there.
Don't get me wrong. I love my husband and my son dearly but they are not a "passion". My husband has two passions: music & flying. I know that without pause or thought. When I asked him what my passions are he just looked at me.
I am taking this as a wakeup call to spend some time figuring out who I am and what I want in my life because really.....
If not now....when?

This post is being submitted to the Mabel's Labels BlogHer '10 contest. It answers this hypothetical situation: Electrical storms are going to wipe out the Internet (perhaps forever). You have one day left to write about your passions: what do you want to say to the blogosphere in 300 words or less?
