i talked to my mom last night. she gave me a big "life" pep talk. i really needed it.
this morning i found this email in my inbox:

As part of my continuing series: "Love Your Life, Make Each Day Count", today's topic is: "Finding the Hidden You". Think back, when was the last time you thoroughly enjoyed a job or something you had done on a continuing basis where you made a financial gain? Now, this doesn't have to be anything grand, it can be something minor you spent one day doing, but in the end you felt good about yourself and it had a positive impact upon you.
We are all put on this earth for a purpose, and our life is a journey to find what that exactly might be. Are we good with children? Do we enjoy working with animals? Could we perhaps be useful in a boutique...if fashion
is interesting to us? Working as a volunteer for a radio station (you enjoyed) or as a volunteer for a fund raising drive might be your cup of tea. Whatever it is, Make Each Day Count so that when you lay your head down for the night, you can take a deep sigh and say "that was a good day"! Not every day can be EXCELLENT, but on the whole, you will feel like you've had a place in the scheme of things.

Signed...The Old Philosopher
