Dear Rick,
And believe me, the drip starts to become an open spigot. Life races by
increasingly faster as we age.

I find it incredibly difficult at times to pull myself out of old
patterns--to do new things--to take risks. Part of it is sloth, part shyness--most of it
built on subconscious fears solidified over the decades. One gets paralyzed
by inertia, and that inertia tends to feed on itself.
Society today tends to allow us to soak in entertainment/information instead
of becoming players in it. Gradually by small increments forcing ourselves to
interact with others can break the patterns. It's the old saying, though.
Being unhappy in one's present situation is so much easier than risking the
unknown.
Love, Hillary
