MEH.
I know I should know better. I know I have told myself this a thousand times; I just need to be happy in the moment, right here and now.
But sometimes I feel like I'm still missing out on something exciting. Or I feel that life is just passing by and I'm sitting there on the curb just watching it while waiting for a parade to come along.
I've been in this mood for a few days now and so maybe if I write about it, the feeling will soon pass.
Maybe it's that I want more and more... or at least more than what life really is. I sometimes focus on what I want rather than what I have.
What do y'all do to get out of a slump like this? Can we ever really be satisfied with life as it is?

You are in the state of Meh... I go there from time to time. It's funny though. I read your blog / facebook entries and see how you seem to have so many friends, doing so many things... and I'm just sitting here waiting for the parade to find me...
I think that the real accounting comes later when we are not there to witness it. Last week I went to a memorial sevice for a friend. Let's just call him Victoria's Fairy Godfather. There were close to 200 people at the service on a Wednesday night. This was not a man of great power or wealth. This was a man who touched peoples' lives by giving of himself. We all had at least one story to tell. That was a life well lived.
Sometimes you drift in and out of this phase - but always ground back to reality and love what you have, because there's so many folks worse off!
Its natural to feel that way. The question I have is this a feeling that never goes away or something you feel occasionally?
I feel that way sometimes and think it helps motivate me. What do I do? I do different things... at times I've changed jobs, other times I've taken a trip, and sometimes I just need to spend time with people I care about the most to put things back into perspective for me.
What do y'all do to get out of a slump like this?
I don't do anything per se; but press on, knowing this too shall pass.
Sometimes when I am taking myself and Life too seriously I watch the Marx Brothers.
Can we ever really be satisfied with life as it is?
Yes. It is possible. Really.
"...sometimes I feel like I'm still missing out on something exciting. Or I feel that life is just passing by..."
I've always assumed that was a normal human feeling, at least it's something I feel quite often.
The trick is to keep breathing...
