I'm very much a stay-put kind of gal. Nothing appeals to me more than sitting at home, watching a good movie, and eating ice cream. I guess I'm what you would call a homebody. This is a pattern for my life. I don't exactly deal well with change.

My hubby, on the other hand, is an adventurer. "Do you want to move to Germany?" he asked me many years ago. "Sure," I said. (Back then I still had a little adventurous spirit in me.) The Germany plans didn't pan out, but he still has that excitement in him. If born in a different era, he would have been an explorer or a pioneer.

What does all this have to do with life? Well, he's getting that itch to move. He wants to pick up everything and move away to some new exciting adventure. Everything in me was rebelling this idea. Then I went to Adoration last night. After staying for my scheduled hour, I stayed an additional hour when the next adorer didn't arrive. Then another hour when the NEXT adorer didn't arrive. At 2AM, suddenly dropping everything and moving didn't sound so bad.

Then I got to thinking and praying. By looking for this new adventure, are we just running from our problems? Would we only encounter the same ones if we went somewhere else? Our biggest problems are our inability to say "no" and to involve ourselves in too many activities. And to get ourselves in too deep in the activities that we do participate in. We both tend to take over whatever we're involved in. I think we really need to work on being obscure worker bees and not the bossy do-it-alls. I guess it just seems easier to move away than it is to extract ourselves from our commitments, but I'm not seeing that as any kind of long term solution.

I only wish there was a book about this topic. I love to read other people's thoughts and ideas to help sort out my own. If anyone has any suggestions for this obscure topic, let me know.

Prayers are appreciated.
