Oh hey Buddy....
I know. I know right? It's been a long time. And I miss writing about me in a place where I can write about whatever I want. No promises as to how long this shall last....
November was such a month of abundance - it was a beautiful thing.
December felt like a month of lacking.
I'd like to find a way to feel like I"m doing more of stuff and less life stuff is being done to me. Is that even possible? Someone's probably said it better than me, but it's the whole life is what happens to you - character is what you do with it. If that wasn't already a quote I just made it one.
I'm reading a book called FLOW right now, and while I'm not very far into it, it's very interesting so far. The idea of things helping us grow that we don't necessarily like, but they make us happy? Like my job. I complain about it, and no I don't always love it, but I learn a lot doing it and it's given me a sense of pride over the years. Because it's been challenging and because I had to learn things .
So win. I'm putting *off* reading Stumbling on Happiness. I'll admit to a prejudice based on Gilbert's (the author) TED talks that I've seen. If you haven't seen it, allow me sum it up for you: People don't think about what will make them happy in the long run so they make choices that will give them short term game, and then act surprised when they aren't happy in the long run. ka-duh. You think?
Maybe I wouldn't dislike it as much as I think I will? Or at very least I'll cross that bridge when I'm done Flow.
