Day One of ISOPassion

Today is the official first day of the rest of my life. And I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. I'm so used to doing 10 things at once, I'm a little lost. I can find 10 things that need to be done in my home (from paying bills, to laundry, to cleaning up scattered messes) and my instinct is to start them all. But I've been down that road before. I start ten things, finish one and get frustrated by the mess I've made on the other nine. It's time to focus.

So I started the day with cleaning out my email and doing laundry. I fed the kids breakfast. I made the bed. Then I paid some bills (and no, I didn't finish that). I went to the gym. And it's not even lunch time. I can remember feeling desperate for time to get household duties done in between conference calls and deliverables. Oh well, it will all get done in due time.

The real issue is my personal challenge -- in search of my passion (ISOPassion). I want to find something that excites me again, that draws me in, challenges me and makes me want to give it my all. I'm not sure what it will be. So where do I start? This month is dedicated to my passion for my family. I'm spending quality time with my kids, visiting some relatives and having relatives visit me. I need to reconnect with those who mean so much to me. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant. It just needs to be quality time.

So as unexciting as it may sound, Day 1 of ISOPassion is reconnecting with family. Off to play with the kids!
