What happened to November??

You can't miss December and January...
Everyone is selling you thoughtful or clever (or just completely pointless) things you can give to friends and family. They are also beginning to insinuate how badly you've been doing all year and how much better you can do next year. There's plenty of body, mind and spirit to renew... If you listen enough, you might just get a bit depressed and start to look for some solution to a problem you did not have to begin with lol

I wonder....do we feel increasingly dissatisfied with our lives because in this age of information, we are stimulated by so much information about what's out there- what we can have, what we don't have, both real and fictional (no, I cannot be a vampire) that we start reaching out for a bigger life, for bigger experiences, for someone else's life...etc. And of courses, we now know that it is impossible to do it all, have it all- because there is no all....its endless! And yet, we are told, no keep reaching for the stars! Let no one tell us it's impossible! We have the power to do it if we put our minds to it, etc.

I guess i myself have been sucked into all this. If not, I could not possibly feel like anything is missing from my life! I have an amazing life, with amazing family and friends. I am free from danger, from being hungry or cold. Drinking water flows from my tap. I have everything I need and an amazing job that bring the most amazing people into my life. More importantly...I have people who love me.... and people I love....
I think.... after awhile you even forget what you're reaching for & I guess that's when you start to feel a bit lost. And maybe since the flow of life is at sonic speed, we should write down little reminders of what it is we want every time we think about it. And while we're at it, maybe we should also write down what we have that make us happy every time we're aware of it.. And watch less tv...
