Since this is my first blogging experience I guess I'll figure it out as I go. I've never been one to write (or even read much for that matter) even though I come from a family of writers. They say it helps to get your feelings out on paper, or in this case, on the computer so that's what I intend to do. I'll let you know if it changes my life dramatically.
I've entered that point in my life where the little things seem to make a big impact. I think a number of things could have caused this but I know the main reason. The year 2008 drastically changed my life and my way of doing things, but most importantly, it changed my way of seeing things. I can't pretend to have entered 2008 a humble person but I definitely left it that way. Now, I know I'm not the only one that's been negatively impacted by the recent economic times and I've certainly not been the MOST effected but things have been a bit difficult. Mostly meaning different from the normal.
This leads me to the little things. Where I used to want the biggest and most extravagant, I now only want the most comfortable and reasonable. Where I used to want everything now, I now want it eventually and when it makes sense. Where I used to need the best social scene to stroke my ego, I now want family and friends to love me for who I am. Isn't this what really counts anyway?
I recently read a blog about a "makeunder". The blogger spoke of how she intends to "makeunder" her life by eliminating the unnecessary and cleansing her life of things that keep her from being a better person. If it's too complex than simplify it. I like this. I think it's refreshing. From this suggestion came the title to my blog. Same general idea just a little more down and dirty. I want to simplify but also erode all of the sandy sediment that has clogged my mind and spirit. Again, I'll let you know how it goes.
