A colorful life

“Are you ever satisfied?” This is the question my husband Greg asked me today. Let it be known that my husband is the sweetest guy I know. And very supportive. We just happen to have very different ideas about life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I should probably back up and tell you we had a new refrigerator delivered this morning at 7am. Our old one was 35 years old, and the freezer didn’t so much freeze things as gently cool them off. It was cooler than, say, the Sahara Desert, but warmer than an ice cube, or ice cream, or really anything frozen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So all of this is to say we were moving lots of things around to make room for the refrigerator delivery guys, and this always gets me excited.⠀I love moving things around! It speaks to possibility and change and adventure. Chaos is the best!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Greg likes things to stay the way they are. He likes to know where they are and put them where he has always put them. He finds comfort in a clean, orderly life. Chaos is the worst!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So when he told me he was getting rid of some old cooking magazines, and I replied “there are so many things we could get rid of!” His question was:⠀“Are you ever satisfied?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a great question! AM I ever satisfied? SHOULD I ever be Satisfied? What does Satisfied even MEAN?⠀“Satisfied” seems like a pretty low bar.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only do I want to get rid of unused cooking magazines. I want to keep adventuring and meandering and chaosing. I want my house to be orange and pink and blue.⠀⠀

I was taught to be satisfied with what I have, and I am learning to be unsatisfied. Or as I like to call it: Alive, Adventurous, and True to my nature.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
