Remember that we are addicted to chaos and drama? So, of course we would get a little bored when things are going along smoothly! Us crazymakers, we like a good challenge!

However, we also want security. Most of us do not feel secure in the best of times. And when things are going good, we may be just a little wary of getting comfortable and we wait for the next bomb to blow. Strangely enough, our spouses are waiting for the same thing, for OUR bomb to blow. And usually, it does. Because we can't handle calm! We're afraid of getting comfortable and having our world blown to bits...so if we keep things in a state of chaos, we're safe. Well, at least we perceive ourselves as safe.

So Karen, you’ve admitted that there is a problem. For your own journaling sake, can you tell us when you crazymake and what you want the payoff to be?

"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." --Agnes Repplier, writer and historian
