Quality and quantity

Human beings have always had the burden of wanting a certain quality of life and it comes with strings. Life is not always a fairy tale. There are bills to pay, chores to do, errands to run, and just "stuff" to deal with. With freedom comes responsibility.

But there is time in between all the rest of it when there is a choice. Pragmatists use this time one way. Romantics another. Which way is best depends on your needs.

My needs require a certain amount of creativity, joy and sunshine. I am willing to give up a little security and even a little freedom to have these things. They are that important to me.

In fact, I'm not sure I really even have a choice. My mind just normally goes in certain directions and my body follows happily along, a puppy glad to have someone throw the ball in that direction.

Knowing and accepting what makes the quality of my life good for me, makes everything easier and in this world that can be a biggie.
