Stopping to Take a Look Around

[qos]

I'm discovering an interesting side-effect of LJ: reading what other people are doing with "the time that is given them" makes me more aware of how I'm spending my own.

At the moment, I'm going to a temp job which pays the bills but brings no satisfaction, engaging in studies I find rewarding and challenging, and vegging out in the evening before bed with a particularly addictive computer game called Alchemy. I am not spending quality time with my daughter, reading good books outside of my studies, spending time with my friends, or doing any creative writing. I'm not taking good care of my house. I'm not even watching any good movies. I am doing more journal writing -- not just here, but in my private, written journal -- for the first time in years, and that's a positive sign.

My spiritual life is entirely in my head right now -- which isn't unusual for me, but something I've been trying to change.

Actually everything is in my head right now, and far too serious. I need more playfulness, more sensuality, more silliness, more laughter in my life. And I need more of other people - up close and in person, not just in writing.

Actually, as I was writing this it occurred to me that maybe I should take you up on your standing invitation to go to a club again.

You know we dont have to go to the club. Going to the Club too would be very cool. We could do ANY thing. Maybe get the girls togther and have a playdate at like FUNTASIA or something like that during an afternoon.
