I heart blogs.

Another cloudy day in the deep west of Montana. Not that most days are cloudy, but the past few have been. Cloudy days aren't that bad here though. The mountains scrape through the clouds and give the landscape a much more interesting appearance. Montana is a cool place. At least for me having not grown up here and knowing that I will one day be able to leave. There is a majority in this town though, that have rarely left Montana or the Bitterroot Valley for that matter. Sometimes I feel strange bringing up some experiences I have had throughout, what I considered to be, limited travels. But the more I experience, the more I realize how lucky I really am. I have a perfect family. We have enough money to get to do pretty much what we want. I have been from one coast of the U.S. to the other and seen many places in between. I have traveled to a few foreign countries. It is easy to see why many people do not have the same perspective on things as I do. However it is strange to me that some people seem content with what they grew up with. They never really want to discover or try anything new. Isn't that what life is all about? How boring would that be to wake up knowing exactly what you were going to do for the next 30 years. I admit that it is difficult to push yourself out of your comfort zone at times, but I'm able to do it. And I don't really consider myself all that great at it. Are some people just that scared of change? Or are they just that lazy? I also suppose perhaps there could be other factors at work such as being tied down with a family and not having an education. But I'm not really talking about those people. I mean the people who have a high school diploma, no family to support, and still refuse to step out of the box they were raised in. I guess there are some things I will never understand.
