I would like to get my certification and plan on doing it, but again, its expensive. There are lots of things I want to do, but I need money. I will, its just a matter of time. But the good thing about me is that I can have fun in a phone booth. Thanks again for the kind words.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270671631359761712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171195.post-1119949474265089662005-06-28T05:04:00.000-04:002005-06-28T05:04:00.000-04:00Oh, boy, do you need more challenges in your life!...Oh, boy, do you need more challenges in your life!<BR/><BR/>If you become good at something, it becomes boring. I totally get that: I<BR/>often feel that way.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like, if you can't currently make your job more challenging or<BR/>interesting, that you need to pick a hobby that you can keep growing into.<BR/><BR/>My husband and I recently took up scuba diving. It is a technically challenging<BR/>sport, and also offers alot of room to keep growing. It would take you a<BR/>long time to exhaust it's boundaries. The only thing is that you need to<BR/>ensure you are in good health first, and that you don't have any respiratory<BR/>problems. [Like asthma, for example.]<BR/><BR/>The neat thing is that alot of interesting people are into scuba diving, for<BR/>the same reasons as you: a need for a little adventure, and more challenge<BR/>in their life. A need to conquer a new skill, and to explore in a new world.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying you should get into scuba in order to find Mr. Right... but<BR/>picking a technically and physically challenging hobby that keeps growing<BR/>with you would probably put you in contact with the sort of guy that you<BR/>want to meet...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I wish you good luck in both finding Mr. Right (but w/o actively<BR/>searching, i.e., finding him when you are not in "desperation mode"), and<BR/>also in having your job be more interesting and more fulfilling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171195.post-1119879331225613752005-06-27T09:35:00.000-04:002005-06-27T09:35:00.000-04:00I guess I just don't understand why everyone's ans...I guess I just don't understand why everyone's answer to finding themselves is going 'overseas'. Why is that any different than moving to a different city? Just move 500 miles away. It's not such a huge decision and it's much easier to fix if it turns out to be the wrong thing for you. I am the same way where nothing holds my attention very long. Unfortunately, that translates over to women as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
