Life begins where your comfort zone ends. It is marvelous that so many of us daily meet our personal responsibilities. We have obligations and  the community relies on our fulfilling the many rules,roles and duties that come with adult life. However,being responsible does not mean that we have to abandon the idea that life is an adventure filled with myriad possibilities. It is an accepted reality in many circles that at some point we should establish a bucket list that would enable us to share some of those experiences.Instead of following that list when we are on the porch in the rocking chair maybe it’s time to follow a few of those wistful dreams now. Being responsible to one’s self need not be overly selfish, but rather an attempt to develop an ongoing process of development. I have found that in leaving my comfort zone I became more responsible to others.In the immortal words of Santa”Make the list,check it twice and then follow at least one of the dreams .
