I don't know about you, but every year as my birthday comes around I re-assess where my life is headed. This birthday week is even more telling because I have been making some changes in my life and trying to step out of my comfort zone. Extending myself a bit more is giving me a younger perspective on things. Same old, same old leads to stagnant thinking and even I get stuck in a rut sometimes. So, I am working on being more fisically responsible, stretching my writing more, and listening to my heart again while making life choices- I find this birthday is truly feeling like a new chapter in my ongoing story.
Through one of these interspective journeys, I find I have awakened an almost dormant need to participate in some much needed social activism. Maybe it is the war that continues to rage in the Middle East, the slaughtering of innocent lives at Virginia Tech, or the demise of our middle class life in this country, but I am not happy just commenting on the state of the world anymore. I really want to do something about it. What do you think? Until next time...
