Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time in thought about the difference between comfort and fulfillment. I wish I could say I’ve been working hard to make my life encompass both feelings but recently I realized that’s not entirely true. I’ve only been pouring time and effort into making my life comfortable. Too comfortable, maybe? Predictable, really.
So, I’m turning things on their head. Trying to look at my choices from a new perspective. An open mind and an open heart… free of fear and excuses. Getting back to the things that bring me fulfillment & trying to discover new ones along the way. I hope it’s an interesting path and not even the least bit comfortable.

So thankful I have wonderful friends who brave the chance of catching my gnarly cold to bring me treats on my birthday!
Happy 27th to me.

"Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors."
