Journey

We are all on this journey called life.  Some of us are in it together, some of us are in it to win it.  Others prefer to fly solo, and stay off the radar.  Some of us believe in humanity, while others do all they can to discredit it.
Every once in a while, our journey, for whatever reason, gets de-railed. We end up in a relationship where we lose a piece of ourselves.  Sometimes, its a job that completely occupies all of our time and keeps us isolated from our friends and family, or involves far off travel or relocation.
Occasionally we are granted the opportunity to reset our journey and begin anew.  We decide to take things into our own hands - we quit or leave the demanding job, we end the abusive relationship, we pick up and move to another place to start over.
I've been fortunate enough to have hit the reset button, not once, but twice - although argument could be made that it was the same reset, just in steps.  I think, 10 years after my last reset, my system might be ready for another.  I feel all sorts of complacency lately, and I don't know why.  I can narrow things down and eliminate them as the cause, but as things get ticked off the list it just becomes a bigger mystery - so perhaps a general reset is warranted.
