Your writing and perspective is so soothing and authentic in the world of chaos which I call home. I'm originally from the Midwest as well, but I live in Los Angeles, run my own interior design business and take on about a million things a day that demand endless maintenance and stress me to the max. I always wonder why I do this to myself when I crave nothing more than to feel carefree. Except, my habits prove that I (and people like me) DO crave something more. I think you nailed it with the notion that it's a personality thing. The second I don't have a thing to do, I don't know what to do. I'm addicted to the satisfaction that comes from completing things, which is why I live for designing and project managing and cleaning and crossing things off of lists, I suppose. Also, I'm an extrovert, so in my time off the clock and away from chores, I seek activities out and about with friends that only add to my exhaustion and eliminate any downtime. But if I had a choice, I'd be just like you. I admire you so much! Teach me your ways! And keep doin' your thang!<br /><br />XOXOCaitlin Murrayhttp://www.blacklacquerdesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-67845797353708503132015-12-01T06:43:06.349-06:002015-12-01T06:43:06.349-06:00Wwweeeeellll, I've been known to embrace my bo...Wwweeeeellll, I've been known to embrace my boring side.

I have silently beat myself up for wanting to be home doing home things more than travel, shopping, eating out, etc. And letting that guilt go is freeing and I AM happy!<br /><br />Thank you for the post.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291316642841814860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-29791080744970645362015-11-30T22:47:37.296-06:002015-11-30T22:47:37.296-06:00Spot on!

Personally I am not like that, but I love diversity and people who are true to themselves.Roseliehttps://bluerosesandstardust.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-44932588650071354462015-11-30T22:13:33.251-06:002015-11-30T22:13:33.251-06:00I totally get this.
