The best things in life don't always come with pretty wraping paper.
When I looked up this topic coprolite, one thing came to mind. Sometimes things that are amazing don't come in pretty packages. I would love to see tiny dinosaur bones but I bet that it wouldn't have survived being fossilized normally. Sure theres the initial ick factor but that's true of most changes. Even great changes still require change and lets face it, who really wants to change? Change is my not pretty packaging that often contains great things. I am stubborn and resistant to anything that I am not sure of. Life doesn't come with a guarantee but I would take a warning system. When I moved a little over 4 years ago, I thought it would suck, I was resistant to making new friends, and I was rather cranky about leaving everything I knew. Moving sucked, my daughter spent 18 hours being carsick and my husband was not exactly happy either. It made me even more convinced that there might not be anything that great about Washington after all.
However I love living here, the place we found to rent is perfect, its quiet and isolated. I can walk down and look at the lake I live on anytime I want. But the packaging of car sick kids, cranky husbands and moving states looked pretty icky. In fact I didn't want to take apart the decision and enjoy the rewards, I just wanted to stay cranky. I found though that once I unwrapped it, the awesome things inside made up for all the icky that came with it. So the next time you don't want to do something, just think about the possible treasure wrapped up in the ickyness, you might just be surprised.
