Once Upon a Time There Was a Baby Idea.
I'm a jack-of-all-trades. I get bored. I want to try something new and it's going to be my passion (well, sailing is my passion) and solve all the ills in my world and I'm going to be AWESOME at it, the best there ever was. For a week, and then I get bored. Yes, I'm that person.
What I always think I need is just a little direction. Except, I'm not good at direction. I'm not good at a lot of things....being confined to a room for more than four hours, eating vegetables, being practical... But I want to be. I want to be brilliant and special and amazing and fantastic and that person that everyone both wants to be and be best friends with. I'm not that person. I'm the person who sees those people and wants to be them and be best friends with them. Luckily, I have some friends that are those people.
But I digress. Today in my monthly moment of feeling like an overwhelmingly useless human being and whining about it (ok, it's not really monthly, it's just way too often), my brain landed on a new idea. (It does that) Except, I think this one is even more cool than most of them and it's even practically possible. And while, since it's new and fragile, I'm keeping it to myself for a moment, I want to be excited about it, tell everyone, and toot my own horn for being awesome enough to think of it. (Useless to Awesome in one day, it's either the red hair or the latent mental instability.)
Lately we've had a few setbacks on our travels through life. Right now our future is a bit unpredictable, which isn't all that odd for us, just not what we had in mind right now. It just never ceases to amaze me how stress and adversity can either kill you or plant the seeds for a new, awesome adventure.
And now I see that this post got away from me and became much more melancholy and whiny than I had planned. This is a post about exciting new opportunities and the chance to grow and become better. Maybe even brilliant and fantastic, though special and amazing could be a bit of a stretch.
You never know what you can do until you put your mind to doing it. You never know when inspiration can strike. This could be the moment that changes your life forever, always in good ways and bad. Or, it could just be a new trade for Jack....she needed a new challenge anyway.
