Sick Day

I spent one day home sick on Wednesday. Have no fear, I'm okay, the blog WILL go on. I just had/have an upper respiratory infection. Nothing an antibiotic can't fix.
So...while on this sick day, I really could've taken a 2nd day off but I was actually READY to go back to my insane & stressful job! Not because of the millions of dollars they pay me but because I was bored out of my mind. Being sick, I couldn't go anywhere.
I didn't have the energy to do any serious activity either so I sat in the house and watched VH1 reality shows. The day at home made me realize how necessary it is to have a purpose in life. A big part of my purpose is to go to work and do whatever it is I do every day. It gives me fulfillment to a certain extent.
But to bring up my new favorite movie again, in Julie and Julia, both women explore their own purposes and find passion! (If I've lost you, watch the movie/read the book)
I'm ready to find my PASSION! Or a schedule or another purpose other than my job. I'm not about to murder a lobster so cooking my way through Julia Childs recipes isn't going to happen. I thought about exercising but I don't want to become one of those obsessive work out people.
Now as I write this, I'm thinking about maybe making writing my purpose. Clearly it's what I love...but what's a fun way to incorporate it into my life's purpose. It's already my career.
On another note, why don't people write letters anymore? I think I'll start.
