I don't understand Facebook. I look at Sheila's once in awhile and all I see are snippets of information that I can't follow because they don't seem to have a beginning or an end. It is amusing at times and I like the pictures. But it is still outside of my comfort zone. I have been doing a lot of thinking about my comfort zone lately. With Sheila going out into the cruel world with her new job it has me thinking about my circumstance. Today I asked Sheila why she thinks her job is fun and she said that she likes being 'out' and meeting new people and even learning new stuff. She admits that some of the jobs that she has been doing are harder physically then she would like them to be. And she would like to have more of the 'cashier' jobs which she trained for and is even looking at some kind of aide or assistant thing with a school that wouldn't be so physically demanding. But for now it is still new enough that she'll do whatever comes along. And it helps in the way that she looks at herself. It makes her feel worthwhile. That's where I start when I think about my circumstances. I find it very easy to look past the mark, so to speak, and wonder if what I do makes a difference. Is it just busy work that lets me hide out from trying to do something important? I realize that it is what I have wanted it to be. But I also wonder if there is something more. I have never wanted to be 'out' in the world even though many things that I have done have taken me there. I like being a bit of a recluse, but it has gotten old and I just wonder what things would be like with a few different circumstances. I would very much like for us to go on a mission. But it doesn't feel right, right now, and it doesn't seem possible either. I have used the phrase before but it fits. I feel an 'impending'. I just don't' have any clue as to what, where, how or when. So for now I'll be happy for Sheila's new life and keep on trying to figure out Facebook.
