What Not To Change?

I'm putting a lot of thought into this... this list shouldn't be a 'to-do' list, or a bucket list....although I have plenty to do, and things I'd like to see/do before I die.... I'm not even sure what I feel, this skin crawly, nerve tingling, need for change is something I can't control. It may just be something I have to experience. HOWEVER, I am not that willing to just let it happen. I need to be an active participant in whatever is coming. I can't imagine me as a silent observer in my own life. I may be the only person to ever read this (grinning) but damn it, it's going to be an orderly thought progression!
      I can name some things I would NOT like to change. I like my attitude. It's positive, at times joyful, at times sorrowful, usually peaceful, loving, and somewhat snarky. What's that you say, snarky? It's a bemused cynicism. I will acknowledge what you say as fact may be fact, but will also acknowledge that not everyone is forthright. There may be another layer to what I see and hear, and I like to reserve judgement for a while. This has been a learned behavior over the past decade or so, and has been good for me. I seldom blow up, or am quick to anger, and prefer to think/ponder a situation for a time. I may have an instant opinion, but it is not set in stone, and will develop over time.
      I would also not like to change my profession. My job, maybe, but not my profession. I wouldn't change my relationships within my family. I'm willing to add some extra people, but I don't think I could deal with any losses at the moment!  We've hit our quota for a while.
      I'm still working on the feelings of turbulance. Something's twirling in the wind....what the heck is going on?
