Adjusting

I've always thought of myself as maladjusted. Something just doesn't fit about me. It might be from my non-conformist family; being told I'm different; or just that I don't usually feel like I'm part of what "seems" to be happening around me.

It seems strange to be told I'm different when I've always felt the same. I have always been me, ever since I was born. There are things I find funny, amusing or interesting that hold my attention. Most other things slip through my mind as easily and swiftly as a summer breeze.

Then there is adjusting. Each time a new job, person, thing or object comes into my life there is some adjusting to do. They all take space you know. The real estate can exist in my living room, mind or office. It doesn't matter. It can even be how time is being invested, hopefully not spent. The ripple effect spreads through the sea of my thoughts and I won't ever be the same.

Isn't it lovely?

We are never the same after impacting a space, place or mind. Never!! The effect lingers and the imprint is cast. This is very personal.

If nothing else, I invite you to ponder whether you spend or invest your time.
