Anything! But so many factors prohibit me from doing so. I get these powerful, passionate, painful pangs (nice alliteration HA!) in my chest sometimes that I'm supposed to be doing something GREAT! But I don't... I'm not.... it gets rather depressing.<br /><br />During those times, I have to force myself to look around and list all the things I have, all the things I've done that are good... acknowledge that I am very fortunate in many things I take for granted. Then ask myself, would I throw it all away just for a bit of excitement or change? Would the momentary thrill be worth it? The momentary thrill passes and even the change becomes a rut after time, then what?<br /><br />Desiring change and excitement is probably human nature; how we react to that desire is character.<br /><br />I don't mean to get all philosophical. >.< I don't take baths... I smoke cigarettes to think.

I live fo...Whoa, we really are separated at birth! I live for the hour when I can turn on the taps and settle down in the tub. And think deep thoughts (get it? Bath...water...deep?). <br />Okay, I don't really think deep thoughts in there, mostly I read and escape from the day. <br /><br />I don't think that a comfort zone is a bad thing--there is nothing wrong with having a good life and being satisfied with that--but those comfort zones can keep us in a rut, too. I decided back in January that 2011 would be my year of living fearlessly. It's May. Haven't stepped out of the CZ yet...<br /><br />I have decided that I really don't want to work for a living. So I'm going to start playing the lottery, win a jillion dollars and retire to tend my garden and write brilliant yet trashy fiction. I'll let you know how that works out!Teri Anne Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500524348027951939noreply@blogger.com
