Okay, I don't know about spiritual growth yet, but I am seeing some very strange things in my life without spider solitaire. I seem to have stopped wandering in here to play, but I find myself casting about for substitutes. I have been showing up at the frig more than usual. I'm watching boring and silly things on TV which I would not normally tolerate. I am surfing the web for just about anything. Hey, I tell myself, I like knitting, I'll search for free patterns online! So I spend an hour looking at sweaters although I don't especially want to knit one (did find two nice ones in spite of myself).
I have done some productive things around the house as well as a little good reading, but I am surprised how hard I work trying to distract myself from thinking. I have the gift of time to work through my ongoing midlife/career/creative crisis and I am avoiding it. The puzzle games are more fun because if you persevere you can solve them. Get the Right Answer. There are no guarantees like that in life. Maybe I'm afraid I'll find a problem I don't want to solve, or a solution I'd rather not implement.
