Some ...Yeah, we need to "arrive", Sunny! Some day, some where! I'm not sure what it means to live in the "now", and don't know if I ever knew, or if I sometimes do it and don't realize it. <br /><br />I feel rushed all the time, almost harassed, but I have THE most leisurely life of anyone. Many people may have more $ than we do, but heck, I have a husband with a full time job who comes home at night and doesn't mind making dinner if I'm still on the loom, pasting stuff on the sketchbook. <br /><br />I also feel keeping myself busy is going to somehow turn out to mean being productive, but that hasn't worked yet. <br /><br />I feel messed up, at 52, and feel cheated, because if we're messed up, aren't we supposed to at least have fun with it? <br /><br />"Growing up" was supposed to be hard, and after puberty life was supposed to be easy. I had a good life in my late 20's, but life doesn't seem to get any easier; we don't seem to get any better at this thing called "living", do we, Sunny? <br /><br />I'm not unhappy, but I can't ever get away from this dreadful feeling that I'm doing it all wrong.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-5619550640792582852010-08-07T22:01:53.920+12:002010-08-07T22:01:53.920+12:00Meg, I think I have been in transition for almost ...Meg, I think I have been in transition for almost 7 years now. 'Destination addiction' sounds right. I keep reading inspirational books and books about creativity and reading blogs that aspire to renew us and make us more of what is good inside us. But I'm still me -- unsteady, unsure and psychically shaky. I understand where you are. It's where I live. How can I be 54 and not have a clue who I am, where I'm going, how to be free and creative? Maybe that's why I felt (and continue to feel) such a quick and deep bond with you. If/when you find answers or destinations please share. I would love to hear all about it.Sunny -- aka Matriarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343919025257403465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-49007484510864807612010-08-07T21:00:38.666+12:002010-08-07T21:00:38.666+12:00Hi, Carol.
