My life continues to evolve and get better by the day. I am a 50 year old man who has learned that everything truly happens for a reason. I am physically challenged and have 3 ex wives. My first ex wife and I are still very friendly. My second and I are not so friendly. And my third committed suicide, nothing to do with me as she had a substance issue with prescibed meds. I now have a wonderful, joyful, beautiful lady that I will be marrying next May. I have three wonderful sons and am proud of each of them. I have a job as a youth worker, worker with young people in conflict with the law and have been employed there for past 17 years. I am fortunate enough that I am having a knee replacement within the next couple of months and hopefully this will reduce some of the pain. I have been clean and sober for past 29 years. I do not allow myself the opportunity to stagnate and look forward each day to see what it may bring. Life is wonderful and seeing as we all only have one kick at it make sure that it leads you somewhere.

Both. I let life lead me because Lord knows I don't know what I'm doing, but God provides for me if I trust. So I stagnate, but my life continues on to somewhere, I just don't know where.

Life itself is never stagnant, though it sometimes feels as though it were. I think that more accurately for me, it's the difference between thriving and merely existing. For me, this happens when I resist change, which is inevitable.
Two years ago, I moved from a small California beach town to a brown, arid desert mountain town. It was my choice because I wanted to stay with my fiance, though I had wished I didn't have to move. The ocean was paradise; it was life-giving, it was my social outlet and the thing that nourished my soul.
Since then, we have moved twice, married, had a child, undergone some major life changes and yet, because I have not accepted where I am now, I am not thriving, emotionally or physically. I don't allow myself to enjoy my life as much as I did before. Physically, I don't move as much as I used to because it is hot and my will to exercise and take care of myself is greatly diminished. I know I'm going somewhere, I'm just resisting the opportunity to enjoy the journey; consequently, I feel as though I'm living in limbo.
The reality, though, is that life goes on, whether you want it to or not, for as long as you are here to experience it in whatever way you choose.

I am stagnating. This marriage is killing me. I want to be able to breathe again and enjoy life.

My life is in one deep stagnation.
Nothing happens that can take me somewhere.
