Why don't I DO stuff?

[cjsmith]

I just re-read two journal entries, one containing several unusual things I've done and another listing things I haven't done but coulda or woulda liked to. I'm struck by the fact that most of the interesting things I've done were done more than a decade ago, and the things I'd like to do have sat on my "maybe someday" mental list for years.

Was I really so much more interesting ten or twenty years ago? Does this have something to do with being a grownup with a mortgage? Why haven't I done more of the things I'd like to try? What am I so afraid of?

I didn't know you ten years ago, but I can say with certainty that you're quite interesting now. I've been quite impressed with you in the few years I've known you.

Awww, *blush* thank you! Comments like that can offset a heck of a lot of my self-grump. :-)

Glad to help. I'd offer to offset the rest, but what I have in mind would require much closer proximity.
