Cavalier
I found myself saying that word the other day. Not talking about the car, but the adjective. I really like that word. "Carefree and nonchalant" says the dictionary. So maybe I should use the word more since I like it so much. Then again, maybe I should be the word more. Of course that brings up the whole "be yourself" motto and the contentment of self mantra that I so often preach, but being cavalier need not mean wreckless abandon. But then again, one definition of the adjective that I didn't post at the beginning, was "showing offhand or arrogant disregard". I don't want to show disregard to others, so perhaps I need to try to walk the fine line between "arrogant disgard" of others and over cautious lifestyle. But maybe I'm just sitting on the fence between walking the fine line and being lukewarm. Argh! The is the paradox of post-modern Christianity!
