decisions, decisions.
we are always making decisions.
i am struck by a particular dichotomy at the moment.
convenience and familiarity,
accompanied by that passive stagnation i so consciously avoid.
vs. frustration and bewilderment,
which often creates that dynamic growth i crave.
we all go through periods of each.
but sometimes our dominant style is tangibly highlighted
in the way we choose to live.
advantages to both, disadvantages to both.
we don’t want our days to become boring and dull,
but neither do we wish to encounter difficulties on a daily basis.
as i reach the halfway mark of my three weeks in america,
i am especially struck by certain amenities i once counted upon.
and then i think of my new home in italy, to which i will return.
the always-different, often-strange, yet newly-comforting rhythm.
the biggest house we’ve lived in, with the least amount of occupants.
the language i’m getting used to hearing, but still not speaking.
the daily conversions – metric, celsius, 24-hour clock, european date format.
i am caught in have chosen to live in
this frustrating bewildering dynamic-growth space right now.
that doesn’t mean i don’t crave (sometimes daily)
the convenience and familiarity of the life i left behind.
it was easier for me.
it was less messy for me.
but it wasn’t meeting my expectations.
it wasn’t fulfilling me.
it wasn’t completing me.
so i made a move.
and now, after 10 months, i’m starting to find a new balance.
a lovely mixture of comfort and thrill, routine and adventure.
getting closer to my perfect zone all the time.
have you discovered your perfect zone yet?
somewhere between laid-back and daring-stretch?
what are you doing to get closer to it?
“his life, he marvelled, had come full circle, like a wheel spinning around, always ending at the beginning, always beginning at the end. that, he saw, was just the way of things.”
