RE: Appreciating the Grist in Your Mill [Thank you for the title, Vanholio]

It is always interesting to be human is to suffer so we have a reference point for happiness. We go out of our ways making more trouble for ourselves then needed. Always wanting just a little more of a reason in our own existence.
I guess that is why we don’t take short cuts when doing down a path. We walk it as long as we can till we have to carve a path out ourselves.
Things get rather boning without struggle at least for me. It is such an undesirable attraction but I lust for it. Like an ant to sugar.
I'm always fascinated by the thoughts of a time traveling cat. :)
Things could get boring without something to liven them up, but struggle isn't the only thing to counter boredom and I'm not so sure I lust for struggle anymore. Maybe I'm just getting old. I've been such a depressed grumpyhead most of my life that I find my recent adoption of playfulness, lightheartedness and flow to be just what I need.
Time brings a lot of wisdom. You have a library of experiences to draw from that came at a cost to fill the bookshelf. Now you just have to use the library pass and enjoy!
I, however, am still a fool on my best days. Playing the role of Tantalus it seems. I’ll grow tired of it one day I just hope not today. I have very far to travel and only so much time to get there. I see the clock wind down as I in desperate hopes try and rewind the darn thing in time! A vicious cycle certainty. It is the only way I trust.
