“Find your circus.” ~Jessica Hagy
We humans seem to always be running.
There are things people
run FROM in life:
1. Big
spiders.
2. Liver
and onions.
3. Buckley’s
cough syrup.
4. Public
speaking.
5. Not
feeling wanted.
6. Obnoxiousness.
7. People
who tell us the truth.
8. Overdue
bills.
9. A
job we hate.
10. Waiting
in line.
11. Negative
people.
12. Violence.
13. Racism.
14. War.
15. People
who swear to do something about everything that’s wrong but they never do.
16. People
who lie.
17. Cleaning
toilets.
18. Mice.
19. Diets.
20. And countless
others.
And there are things people run TOWARD in life:
Ice-cream, cute people, the beach, the liquor store, etc,
etc...Too many to count. But above all...that which doesn't feel like work. And
what does that add up to? Your “circus.”
Dear people not yet grown-up (age 18-81),
Have you
determined what your circus is yet? Find that enjoyable thing and those
enjoyable people living their dreams and then you’ll find your circus and then
the running won’t seem so exhausting anymore.

Blogging is a pretty good circus!
people even run away from jogging
That was nice, man. My family is a circus. Sometimes, it's the one I run towards, and sometimes, it's the kind of circus immediately preceded by a, "this house is an effin . . . .!" But yeah, definitely.
I agree with Debra. Blogging is a great circus and it's my circus.
