What Has Filled Your “Sense of Purpose” This Week?

For me, that question feels hard to answer.
Is that true for you as well?

This week I’ve watched & listened to
Daily interviews about “Radically Reframing Aging.”

Repeatedly, from experts interviewed,
I heard words accentuating how important
“Purpose” is.

Feeling useful, motivated, interested, enthused—
Having those adjectives apply to life—
Important at any age,
Becomes critical when older.

It rang true for me, because,
I find day-to-day-day “purpose” hard to describe.

Yes, I ride the exercise bike.
Yes, I give talks.
But not all the time!
Does something need to shift?
Or do I need to see a day with different naming / framing?

I know that how I name things makes tremendous difference
In feeling hopeful or stuck;
In sensing the satisfaction of “pedaling,”
In noting the significance of “moving-on-down-the-road.”

I believe those interviewed experts.
I’m willing to take a broader look at
“Purpose.”

Hugs,
Lin

Limerick:
When posing my days for inspection,
And viewing those days with reflection;
Tasks I’m pursuing,
Can be renewing.
I could name each one with affection!
