Moving On

I like to move.

In fact, if I'm sitting still or standing without moving, you can bet I am:

a) Very, very tired.
b) Paying attention to something(s) else that I shouldn't be, or daydreaming briefly
c) Completely and utterly enraptured in what I am doing/seeing/listening to.
d) Planning my next move.
e) Resting briefly between movements.

Some people might refer to this as ADD. I like to refer to it as "energized". Suffice it to say, I have found that whatever I do, I am happiest when I am moving. Cycling, walking, rollerblading, snowboarding, running, rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, swimming, dancing, handspringing, bouncing, vibrating, whatever. I love it all. And when I get bored of one thing, I love finding and adopting something new.

My new goal in life is to never work an office job again. I'm currently applying for jobs as a canoeing instructor, lifeguard, camp program assistant, fitness coordinator, in health promotion... anything where the job description says "outside" or "very active". Mountains and payment would be icing on the cake. I have this strange desire to try tree planting. I'm trying to fight it, but you never know... I have a feeling I will eventually cave and do it for at least one summer.

All I can say is, whatever happens to me in this life, whoever I am with, wherever I go, whatever I see...

I hope I do it without having to stand still.
