The 7 Year Itch

Wow!  Does time ever fly.  7 years… it has been 7 years since I have written a post. 

I have talked about writing again year after year, but somehow never actually get around to it. It’s funny how 7 years can feel like just yesterday and forever ago at the same time.

Sometimes I feel like life is stagnant. Monotonous.  We do the same thing day to day.  Work to pay the bills, get a little ahead, go through a few set backs but for the most part, same old.  Sure, jobs change, and people come in and out of your life.  Adventures have been had and we have experience some change but when it comes down to it, one could say that life is repetitive.  Days feel long and reoccurring at times.

Other days I can’t help but feel like life is passing too quickly. There is so much to do, people to see and life to live but it feels like it is all going too quickly.  We have had so many new people enter our lives and make an impact on our life but it feels like we don’t have enough time in the day, month or year to fit everyone and everything in.  We find new activities to get involved in, new interests and hobbies and all of the sudden you blink and another day has gone by. 

I am not sure which feeling is worse.  The feeling of a tedious day to day or the feeling of not having enough time… or the feeling of the two combined.

For me, it is the former.  I don’t want to feel like I waited too long to try something, experience something.  I would prefer new adventures and changing days, to feeling like I missed out.  I don’t want to feel like my work life gets more time and energy than my “real” life. 

Well that is about to change.  I hold the key to my own “same old” life, and with this first post I feel the key turning and change ahead.  Change with a better work life balance, change with new adventures and change with new goals and accountability for those goals.

Wish me Luck!
