I love my work.  But oh how I wish I had known how time consuming this real world thing really is.   I feel very fortunate to get up everyday going to job that I enjoy.  The only thing I don't like are the hours and the commute.  I only work eight hour days, which is wonderful, but the commute easily turns it into 12 hour days.  I think before we head off to college we should have to work a year before so we actually APPRECIATE the lifestyle of a college student.

If only I knew now, what I knew then.  * sigh *

Anyway, all of this working has me thinking of things that I wish I had time to pursue.  And, now leaves me wondering if I will ever have time to pursue them:

1.  Graphic Design Work-  I am trying to make our wedding invitations and I love it!!!  I wish I had more time to pursue my creative side.  It is a part of me that I would love to unleash, that is very neglected.

2.  Triathlons-  I won't to compete again so bad, and I know that it would be a great challenge both physically and mentally.  It will still incorporate my passion for running, but add a new twist.  Time and money (bike), seem to be holding me back.

3. Photography- I wish I had a nice little camera with me always to capture the small, intimate and wonderful moments in life.  Another way to allow me to be creative and look at the world a little differently, and often better.

4.  Giving Back-  I want to find time to give back so bad.  I think that everyone should take two days out of the month and give back to what they feel passionate about. Not monetary, but time.  People need to learn more compassion. Specifically,I would love to work in animal welfare.

5.  Writing.  Never enough time to write.  Makes me want to go back to grad school so I can write papers...  or take a creative writing class.....  I'm weird, I know.

If you had all the time in the world, what five things would you pursue?  I would love to know!
