What's the Point?

Tonight while sitting a basketball game I wasn't paying attention to, one poignant question had me deep in thought: What meaning does your life hold? Entranced by the this question, I couldn't quickly find an  acceptable answer to temporarily subdue my melancholy nature. At that point, the game had become completely disinteresting. Since I couldn't come up with one good meaningful activity going on in my current life (I look too deeply into things sometimes) I figured I needed to leave and at least come up with a game plan to make my life more interesting, more purposeful. I left the game at half time oblivious to others around me as I walked to my car. As I've already told you, I have a LOT of free time on my hands this semester. All of my work for my single, solitary class and my magazine internship can be done from home, so I have few reasons (currently) to leave my apartment. Starting tomorrow that's going to change, though. 

A few posts ago I came up with a list of hobbies I was interested in taking up during this semester, but due to low funds I haven't really gotten into any of them yet. I will, though because I promised you pics! 

Anyway, now that I'm completely bored with being home all day (despite my homebody nature) I'm taking advantage of this free time to do the things I've always complained that I couldn't do before. This time what I want to do won't cost me a dime. Starting tomorrow I'm going to start working out again. It's great for helping me to clear my mind, and not to mention, it helps to keep my body right;) I also found that the Huntsville Museum of Art is hosting several FREE upcoming exhibits. I really want to check them out. 

A bad case of cabin fever could have inspired this post, but I think it's perfectly healthy to stop, step back and ask yourself if the things you spend your time doing are worthwhile. Now that I have a game plan, next time I ask myself that question, I'll be able to say yes without hesitation. I hope you'll be able to say the same.
