walkitoutWhen I’m engaged with a Big Thing, I often do a lot of complaining / whining / venting, but it truly is part of my process. I’ll ask for sympathy and support and then just plow right back into it (more or less whether I get the sympathy and support or not, but I really appreciate the sympathy and support thank you very much!).
I also love routine. I like it when things are calm and I know what’s coming next. I like rereading favorite books, and the next episode of a favorite show and another book by a favorite author and episodes of my favorite podcasts. And hanging out with my kids. I like date night with my husband.
I wouldn’t want all one or all the other. I learn a lot from both. The routine teaches me to see ever more carefully, to experience ever more consciously. And the Big Thing teaches me random crap I had no idea I didn’t know.
It’s all great, and I am very grateful to get to have both of these in my life.
