Always in a rut...

We try to be flexible, go with the flow, not get bogged down in our ways, and try different things and to be spontaneous. But human nature does not allow this, we are creatures of habit. We like things a certain way, we continuously return to the familiar, and fall into patterns or routines. And really, does anyone really like their routine or comfort zone messed with?

I am a prime example of this. I think that I am as adventurous as most, may be more may be less. I try and keep an open mind about anything and every thing, and stay loose with whatever life throws my way. But at the same time I always find myself in the same rut. Repeating the same positives and negatives.

Whether it is the clothes we wear, the food we buy, the places we go, it becomes humdrum in our lives. An example, at one of the places I work, we like to have an unwritten theme in our Friday nights be it; casual, Guayeberas, sport coats, tie/no tie, bow ties, hats, whatever...something to keep it fun and mostly to entertain ourselves. But even this has become mundane, we have fallen into a pattern or monotony of wearing "dress" jeans (whatever they may be), a button up shirt, and a sport coat. The funny thing is when we discuss and plan this, we also lead with, "lets change it up, how about...sport coat and jeans" always coming back to the same, even though we think we are mixing it up.

So while we are trying to be fun and trying to "mix it up", we end up with the same (SSDD). So maybe we are not as adventurous as we think we are, may be we like what we like and stay on the path, failing to stray and try new things.

So maybe a flashy pocket silk to liven things up....(baby steps I guess).
