So I will be going to CT the first weekend in November

And it excites the crap out of me...

For the simple fact that I will be pampered and prepped for the measly costof 150 bucks.

I need, want, yearn for a break from the monotony of the changeable.

Feeling much better, I decided to go do some online shopping for cameras, because I intend to ditch the one I have now. No particular reason except I want a change. 

That in and of itself scared me. Have we, as a society, become so focused on this disposable mindset? We get tired of something, we throw it out...replace it...reinvent it.  I think we take this mentality where ever we go.  We been programmed to do that by greedy corporate conglomerates who know that contentment, in the long run, is not profitable. The only way you are going to get people to open their wallets is to constantly provoke them to feel inadequate about what they have.  Make them uncomfortable, and they will pay to shut you up.

Now on the flipside, we taken that mindset and applied it to so much else. People don't stay in jobs, careers, relationships, homes long enough to actually build some resilience.  "You can do better!" and "What you have isn't good enough" are the mantras that pervade our society.

And the saddest thing about that is, although I see myself falling prey to that mindset, I honestly don't want to change it!
