Impressive: Road a motorcycle from KC to Key West. Was a pretty sweet trip. Impressive: Top to Bottom to Top Grand Canyon hike in one day. It was snowing at the top and 85degrees at the bottom. IDC about that stuff though, it was fun, but honestly anyone could do it.

I think what gives me most fulfillment is regular, scheduled, planned giving charity. I do this is two ways, first monetary: As a policy, I don't give money to panhandlers, but I support a few local shelters (a women specific one, a food pantry, and a general local fund). Second, I volunteer time regularly through my church, which supports these missions. Whether it be participating in service by playing an instrument, using my project managements skills (I learned from my job) to organize people, or just showing up to sweat somewhere, I spend several days every month giving time away. And _that_ gives me purpose, and that gives me a lot of fulfillment.
