All my life there has been a sense of restlessness in my heart I can't explain.<BR/><BR/>But we do arrive at places in life were we have to just accept discontentment as part of life, as contentment is. The "yin and yang" of life-- no perfect answers no perfect solutions to anything I think.<BR/><BR/>It seems you get one thing going in the right direction and some how the other pops up creating an unequal balance. Maybe that's one answer... there is no balance in life. Now you've got me going with that thought.<BR/><BR/>If your diving deeper to look at the world differently that requires strength. I don't mind going it alone. Some of us do it willingly while other times life forces it us to change things. I don't like comfort zones, but my illness has forced that upon me, but I still keep plugging away. To me the latter is the most difficult to accept when you want to jump out in the world and can't.<BR/><BR/>So perhaps we should just be happy with what we have and remember that there are those that fall through cracks of life with no choice of either of those point you bring up. Good points to ponder.Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14005860409560709198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732975.post-8020718088488972112008-09-11T08:13:00.000-04:002008-09-11T08:13:00.000-04:00This hit me right where it hurts.
