what makes your day worthwhile?
06/06/09
I usually have a list of "things to do." But even if I accomplish everything on the list, there is often an emptiness and lack of satisfaction with my life. I would like some responses about what others do that really makes life worthwhile and gives a sense of purpose to each day.

Journaling gives me the greatest joy. I so love to write. Doing jobs around the house keeps me physically active. And of course cooking and baking are the best therapy for me. I love to find new recipes and create a dish that is delicious. I am not creative by nature, but by nuture. Cooking gives me a sense of self worth. I worked so many years as a cook, that it's hard to shut that off.

I do know that reading a good book is very satisfying, it is just sometimes hard to gauge what is worth buying or not. And it seems the books I would check out at the library are always already checked out or are at another branch or are reference books that have to stay on the shelf. I usually buy "used" books from Amazon.com -- some even allow you to read the first few pages. And if I can read a few pages, I can tell whether or not to buy it.
And doing something good for someone, that helps bring a satisfying close to the day.
