Well it is 4:30am, and I have no reason to be awake... except that you are awake and so big now that I feel every little move, kick and squirm. It's reassuring to know that you are so active in there... but at the same time, tossing and turning is not my favorite thing in the world. So blogging it is...
Number 32 is all about restlessness. Partly because I know that you are feeling it right now, and partly because it will be a driving factor in many of your life changing decisions.
Stability is truly the American dream. Whether your "thing" is a 9 to 5 office job, or working the graveyard shift in order to play golf during the day -- having a routine where job, family, finances and fun are scheduled and predictable is what almost everyone is seeking. But beware -- stability can be highly overrated, and unsatisfying.
Am I suggesting, as your mother, that you should plant no roots and live everyday without a rule book? Of course not... But I am saying that if you notice your heart pulling you a direction that is different, and even daunting, from your everyday life -- listen to that scarey little voice. Sometimes it is intuition warning you that your normalcy is about to be interuppted, whether you prepare or not. Sometimes that restless feeling has no obvious implications, but you will just really FEEL like an area of your life needs to change. If it makes you feel better, talk it over with friends and family, but remember that only you have the power to change.
There is a sharp difference between changing because things are too hard and you want to quit, and changing because the winds of life are pulling you that direction. Whether it's your job, friendships, where you live, how you are living or how you are spending your energy -- take the time to evaluate, and re-evaluate, your life. Especially when your restless spirit is stirring.
