In February, I sat down and made a list of what I like to do, what I enjoyed as a child, and what I'm good at. I simplified my life and began to slow down so I could truly discover what makes me happy.
My list started out small because I really didn't know what I enjoyed or liked to do.
1. Writing
2. Photography - Still Photography
3. Organization
4. Running ???
5. Basketball ???
I started experimenting with my list. I began taking pictures again, which if I say so myself I think I'm pretty good. I started my simple living website and created an e-cookbook. I also started to put down on paper the many stories I have in my head. I continue to run and I occasionally play basketball with my children.
Every so often I add to my list. I enjoy to watch it grow as I find more and more things that make me happy.
6. Camping
7. Hiking
8. Social Media
9. Blogging
10. My Jeep
11. Off Roading
12. New Experiences
However, as I began experimenting with trying to find something -- for me -- everyday life once again took over. I occasionally pick up my camera and I have very good intentions to finish my book. But as a mom, my children come first, and always will.
Not realizing until today, not only has everyday life taken over but I believe my passion has snuck up on me and has taken place of my photography and writing. However, they both are very prominent in this new passion I have.
I have found there is quite a difference between a hobby and passion. I enjoy all those activities on my list. I would have to say they are my hobbies -- Most of them. A hobby is a regular activity you do for pleasure in your leisure time. I would have to say that is true with most of all the items on my list.
I believe I can say what my passion is in one word but it's more complicated than just that one word. I found this on a website and I truly believe it's true.
The website asks a lot of questions...
-What do you spend hours doing?
-What are you willing to sacrifice, time, money sleep and vacation for?
-What can't you stay away from?
Well all those answers are easy for me. My Blog -- My Jeep -- My Jeep Build -- Learning about my Jeep -- Learning about off-roading... In a word #JeepLife
Now I have to find away to make it purposeful to my life.
Some would argue that my Jeep and my Blog are my obsession -- my addiction -- I disagree. #ItsaJeepThing
Simple Living - Enjoying Life -- The Jeep Momma Way!
