Things I Don't Do
I heard about this excerpt from a book called "Bittersweet" by Shauna Niequist and, happily, found it online today.

It touches something in me. Not because I have a general feeling that I need to do everything better, like she did, but because I feel like I do a little of everything, but don't excel at anything that makes me feel alive. Maybe it's one of those unfulfillable dreams that you can have a 'go to' something that gives you a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment and joy. Never the less, I have a little hope that by identifying what I do value and also what I "don't do", I will be able to settle into who and where I am in life with less of the restlessness I feel at times.
