Searching for Meaning

Have you ever seen the movie "City Slickers" with Billy Crystal?  He's having a mid-life crisis and goes on a cattle adventure to recover his smile.  I identified with this character because like me he was searching for meaning.  The movie took place in 1991 and I recall the character searching for that one thing that will set him free or least he would be able to find peace with his life.   I was eager to find out what it was, this one thing,  because I think we are all searching for meaning in our lives.  My so called mid-life crisis began to rear its head in 2006.  My kids were becoming more and more independent and my role at 24/7 mothering had left me time to consider other endeavors.  I needed something meaningful to aspire to.  I needed purpose.
