Meaningful activities

Life is busy. Rare is the day that a busy life is filled with meaningful activities. Life is busy out of obligation - bills to pay, groceries to buy, meals to make, things to clean. You know the drill.

Making time for the things that matter - catching up with loved ones, family and friends and following your dreams - is what truly brings purpose and meaning to life. Making special meals, starting and continuing traditions and truly being present when you are with people are the things that matter to me.

I believe that learning is the only way to keep your brain sharp so I find education a meaningful pursuit. It doesn't have to be formal training, but rather anything that extends your way of thinking or exposes you to something new. Taking every opportunity to advance your cerebral cortex and get new neural pathways firing has to be good for brain health.
