Excerpts from an old blog...

"I used to hate people who were obsessed with making smoothies as meals. I can now embrace smoothies as snacks, but not as meals- you need to chew your meals, not slurp them. That is why i hope i am never really old in a nursing home drinking boost."

I forgot that I had this particular stance on smoothies...how ironic I married a man who is obsessed with protein shakes?

"Sometimes I contemplate just becoming a kickboxing/fitness trainer. I am dead serious. I could just hang out with people teaching fitness and listening to music. I wouldn't have to stress about finding a meaningful way to put my academic skills to use. It would just be soooo easy and non-stressful...
Is it so wrong to ingnore talents people presume that you have? I would probably be a good fitness instructor, but I guarantee people would say that I was wasting "my talents" or my degree or whatever. I guess the only one who can judge career choice is God. Does God expect me to do something difficult or stressful? What is meaningful to God? If you have different options, who says being a professor or working for an advocacy group superior to being a fitness instructor, or how is being a missionary superior to being a researcher or a lawyer?"

So apparently after 3 yrs, I still haven't figured out the answer to this question...
