Finding my passion at Simply Mac

For the last few months I've been having issues with my iMac at work. Random freezing, inability to replicate the issue when in front of the "genius bar" and then when they thought they did replace something (the logic card and the video card) the problem continues and is even worsened because the sound won't work. 

So, I took the computer in again to get looked at and Eric, the guy working at the genius bar is probably the most helpful and talkative customer service representative I've talked to in a LONG time. 

As he's putting all of my information into the computer he asks me, "If you could do anything in the world, anything at all, what would it be?"

I was ashamed to say that I don't really know.

The answer I gave him was "something to do with fitness"... which is something I have been seriously considering lately. I love running and working out and learning more about eating healthy. 

But, is that really what I want to do? And how do I go about getting it done? Do I go back to school?

Just now I had the thought, well maybe if I could do anything in the world, I would travel. I love airplanes. I love boats. I like trains a lot. Maybe I could combine the two and be a traveling personal trainer. 

Go with wealthy families on vacation and help them find active ways to vacation. 

That would be fun. But not conducive to starting a family. Or finding someone to start one with. 

I might have to go back to Simply Mac again. Genius Eric has really started me thinking.

The Answer

I realized the other day that it had been a while since I had talked to my dad. Mainly because he doesn't get text messages anymore, something about his cell phone being a government phone and they don't want to have to pay to keep the records anymore. (Full disclosure takes on a whole new meaning with these laws.)

I call my mom when I'm driving to or from work and catch up on life. My dad is always already at work or still at work by that time, so I don't want to bother him.

So last Tuesday I called him at night just to say hello.

He answered my phone call in the middle of his leadership meeting for church.

I asked him why he interrupted his meeting to take my call and said, "well, because my daughter is calling from Utah."

That was the only reason. Because I am his daughter.

I love my family and the lessons that they teach me about loving others.
