Walking thoughts

The number of things that can go through one's head during a single-solitary walk is amazing to me. Here are a few highlights from my 30 minute walk to the post office during lunch today.

1. Am I doing what I want to be doing professionally? Am I good at it? If I'm going to continue to advance on the path I'm on, how is that going to affect other aspects of my life. Hmm....I wonder if I could handle doing in-home daycare. Whoa, is this a quarter-life crisis or just general thinking?

2. Do we worry about money too much? Because of growing up in a house that always seemed to be worried about money, do I worry about it too much? Did we pass up what could have been a stepping-stone opportunity for my husband's career because we obsess too much about ensuring we are financially stable (saving, college funds, not too much debt, etc.)? I think some people probably think we make more than we do and some probably don't realize we earn as much as we do, but in the end it comes down to money in and money out.

3. Earlier today a friend of mine mentioned putting some places to visit on her list, in part because we have another friend who is miticulously dedicated to writing down goals, places she wants to visit, etc. and doing things to make them happen. It's pretty inspiring. While I was on my walk, I saw two people playing tennis. I've always wanted to learn how to play, or even watch tennis. Perhaps I need to get committed to a written list. I think I've posted one here before. Maybe I need to revisit it and get cracking!

That's all. But really, that's alot for 3o minutes. Heavy stuff.
