Second Nature

The pollen from the trees is giving my eyes a fit. The burning and itching wake me up almost as much as my churning gut. At the moment Momma Cat is demanding all my attention. Because she is literally pushing the phone away from my face. Despite all the lessons Mother Nature has taught me, I still find myself doing the night owl thing, while my wife is still in a deep sleep.

I may never understand why I carry this burden of restlessness. Thinking back to my working years, I woke up a many a night solving problems that plagued my days. I suppose old habits die hard and trying to change now is simply a moot point. Still, we go about our days complaining about the things we’d love to change. But as time rolls on, the habits that have become second nature, only tighten their grip.

We each have our burdens I suppose. So I’ve adapted my life to work accordingly. Some of my “positive energy” friends may view that as a cop out. But I prefer to think of it as compromises with a very stubborn mind. So in conclusion let me say, not every decision is a game changer. But moving the needle just a little can still lead to positive results.
