I’m marking this as done, because I believe I do live passionately. Being passionate about life probably varies from person to person, but when I think about my life… I LOVE my life, I love being alive, knowing that most of the time nothing is too much trouble, accepting that we can’t always do what we want & sometimes other things take priority in life but it doesn’t stop us from being thrilled to be living & breathing & to appreciate as many aspects of life as we can.
I look forward to tomorrow, from the colour of the blue sky to crisp cold morning air on my face. There’s just so much I want to see, do & achieve.
Sometimes we might feel we don’t have that sort of passion in our lives, a zest or excitement or something that can take you away… You need to find it – go bungy jumping or hiking somewhere beautiful, ride a motorcycle or taking drawing classes – the passion is there – unleash it!

I’m finally going snowboarding again this year, but I wanted to get some practice in before I went, instead of feeling like I was relearning each time I went.
I got a skateboard and I’m learning slowly. Concrete is so much more unforgiving than snow. I’ve already bruised my knees and grazed my elbows, and my girlfriend fractured her arm on my skateboard. I can skate around a little and turn. (I also dinted a cupboard in the garage trying to ollie – I think I was a bit too ambitious.)
(I really like the 43 Things changes :) )

Time flies...
6 months ago
Before Christmas, I had one of those usual credit card offers to the household with a lower interest rate, and no interest for 6 month balance tranfer, so I decided to apply.
It was accepted – but what I wanted to do was change companies & close down my old credit card. Unfortunately they didn’t give me the amount that I was after but it was good enough to transfer a significant amount.
Today I just decreased my limit on my first credit card by several thousand and while it’s more just juggling finances – it felt fantastic – not to mention a good saving of interest on the first cards. I wish I had done this some time ago.
It all takes time. (Also, I’ve been overseas for 3 weeks & I have not made a single credit card purchase!)
