Cheryl, this is very perceptive: "Sometimes I think this happens when something is shifting on the inside that I may not even be able to identify or name yet, but my spirit senses there’s not a spot for that yet...." Also, I love the whole footsie PJs analogy! Perfect (and hilarious)! That too-tight feeling is one you never forget. It sounds like you're in a good, if slightly uncomfortable, spot in your life. Keep thinking and listening.

Ashley, you've been struggling with these two lives/selves for a while, it seems. But when it comes to your creativity and vocation, I think you know deep down what you really want. Am I right? Even if it seems complicated? Do you know what you'd ask that fairy godmother for? If so, be grateful for the knowing. Maybe working toward that goal will help calm some of the restlessness—along with the passing of spring, of course. :) 

Trina, you bring up the important distinction between what we want and what we need. I really hope some day I can reach the point that you describe. I want to be able to just relax in the nothingness—I guess that would be the "floating the current" option I describe at the end of my post—but my restlessness makes me struggle against it.
