I know for me there was a shift between what I wanted out of life when I was younger, and what I have accepted now that Im older. The ordinary, routine, dull and mundane never appealed to me much and I always was a high climber, thought I could get to the top if I just worked at it. My depression and anxiety definately peaked as I felt time slipping away and I hadnt reached my goals, but stress has a funny way of forcing us to open our eyes and evaluate what is going on with us. Now days Im content that my physical health is good, I have a job that pays the bills, I can save some towards retirement. I get pleasure from simple things, flocks of flying geese into the sunset, ordinary acts of simple kindness. God I sound old lol. But really Im feeling the peace Ive always wanted now even if I didnt get to the top rung of the ladder. Being at the top is a lot of stress anyway, I dont like stress a whole lot.
