That's not what ships are for!

Sometimes when it comes to being Social I feel bi-polar. I go through these real dramatic stages where it's either one way or the exact opposite, no middle ground really. I do love being social and meeting new people most of the time. I like hanging out and trying new things. I absolutely love to laugh and make others laugh, it's my favorite. I love the sound of laughter it fills my soul with great joy. Laughter and waddling pregnant women wearing overalls lol. But sometimes I'm the exact opposite. The last 2 weeks I have been in a bit of a funk when it comes to being around people. I have done some stuff but not much. At the beginning of every new day I think about what I'm going to do that day after work of course, and then I think about that towards the end of the work day to see if I still fill up to the plans I made that morning in my head. And as of late all I've wanted to do is stay home. Which I actually love being alone as well, I still have just as much fun when I'm just chilling with myself. So these past 2 weeks that's pretty much what I've done. Monday I went to family home evening and oh my goodness.... I had fun and enjoyed talking to someone I really adore but besides that it was awful. It was so loud and people were just every where, and I didn't know half of them and felt EXTREMELY old! I did enjoy the lesson and I'm not really sure what was wrong with me. I normally enjoy it, I was just incredibly out of my comfort zone for some reason. Any way so the rest of this week what have I done you ask... Yep stay home and be content and happy with it. I think I could be a complete loner no problem and still be completely happy and satisfied with life. Until I was reading in the books Everyday Greatness, it has some cool stuff in it. I came across this quote in it( A ship in harbor is safe- but that is not what ships are for.) I have been thinking about that stinkin quote all day. I'm a ship... Yes I'm happy alone and content but that's not what life is for, I'm not going to progress or serve my purpose at home in my jammies. I think I should try to have more of a balance. I mean sometimes I do pretty good but then I get in ruts like the past 2 weeks. It's real funny I always wished I lived closer to my friends and people I go to church with so I can do more and now I do and I do nothing lol. I know that I can be a fun person to be around so I shouldn't deny the world of that right... haha
So tomorrow I'm going to go to the temple with a friend, Friday go to Lily's party then Jamie's going to spend the night, and Saturday after work I will hang out with dear old Dacus. So that's a start to getting back in balance, Worship, family, and friends...
Oh side note.. Lately I have had animal fever.. I've been wanting to get another pet. One that Butter's won't feel threatened by, eat, or sit on. I hate potty training dogs so a puppy is out, I could have an outside dog but I don't want to risk getting a digger, I thought about a cat but I hate litter boxes, I REALLY wanted a duck but was told it was a dumb idea lol. So I think I've decided that I want a Chinchilla, but I am going to try to wait till I get a few things paid for, and done.. Also I feel I'd need to be home even more if I had something new that I needed to take care of...
Well I'm off to stare at the back of my eye lids for 8 hours.. See ya!
