Hi again, everyone!
Thanks to all who responded to my "pleasant" life dilemna. You gave me
much to consider.
TG, I will check out those archives you suggested. I made it as far as
finding the list but have yet to read the threads. It sounds like an
interesting list.
Holly, I appreciate your perspective on the ego acting up because it
wants stimulation. My question for you (or any of you) is how do you
respond to the ego's laments?
V, your post sure sent things in an interesting direction! You talk
about focusing on the abundance when we consider the lacks. This, of
course, is helpful. Funny, though, I seem to have reached a point in my
life where lack or abundance doesn't change my perspective. From all
that I've "lost" in my life, I realize that stuff of the material world
has limited value. Enjoy the things, people, places when they are here.
Nothing tangible of this world lasts. Things become old and worn.
Relationships with people alter. Places mold to what things and people
occupy them. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have material stuff than not
have. But because of all my experiences, I am accustomed to not having.
Wow, Rik, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. It was so bouncy. I'm
not sure exactly what you were saying, but it was fun to read. And yup,
I am a froeckin artist. Just haven't found my medium of choice yet.
Connie, thanks for the nice quote.
Gloria, your perspective intrigued me. Please tell me more about what
you meant in this paragraph:

> see what it is.

Angelique, I think you have a great solution for the need for drama in
my life. I never considered that I could satisfy the need for
instability by participating in other's instability! I have been
actively involved in a couple of groups. However, I've been "hands
off"--involved in administrative functions not interacting with people
and touching their lives. This month I am retiring off one board of
directors so that leaves room for something new to enter.
I know it sounds silly to be dissatisfied with life because everything
is OK. My entire life I have always been pushing myself forward, whether
from self-inflicted striving or ass-kickings for my choices. I think I
had developed a stability among the rocking of my life, much like
someone who lives on a boat must become accustomed. So the boat of my
life stopped rocking and I was a wavering soul in a stable life.
I think a dream I recently had has something to do with this thread. I
see a car driving out of control. The people in the car jump out because
they don't know how to control the car. I jump into the car and try
using the brakes to no avail. I try to stop the gas from being pushed
down. No luck. Finally, I find a pole sticking out of the ground to rest
the car on. The pole prevents the car from going anywhere. I get out of
the car and it starts veering away from the pole.
Any perspectives on this would be appreciated.
