Stop Requested

Over the last few weeks, I have been thinking of small changes I could make in my life to help slow things down a bit. I especially hate the mornings because I always seem so frazzled and in a hurry. I have started doing simple things like setting clothes out for everyone for an entire week (a huge feat for me considering I hate to tackle the laundry) and making breakfast for the next day before I go to bed. These things have definitely helped, but I still felt frazzled. When I stopped and thought about it, my days consisted of a lot of hopping in the car and rushing to the next thing on the agenda. I realized I rarely had down time to read or plan my day or just be. I had my schedule figured literally to the minute. I recently made the comment to someone that seeing I how would like to be more environmentally conscious and force my life to slow down a bit....maybe I should start riding public transportation to and from work. Well....I think my car must have heard me because about a week later it completely threw in the towel, leaving me no other choice.

So here I sit waiting for what will be my first ride on public transportation ever. Instead of being bummed about my car, I am choosing to look at this as an opportunity to kind of catch up with myself. I will have about an hour each day on the bus. I have visions of getting all those books crossed off the "Read Someday" list, returning all those calls I never have time to get around to....maybe even getting a little crochet in. I'm sure in actuality it'll probably be something more like missed bus transfers, interesting smells and odd conversations, but hey a girl can hope. We will see how this goes.

I Give In!

Ok…so I have finally decided to succumb to the blogging revolution. I had previously considered all this blogging going on by everyone and their mother pretty egotistical and at the most a glorified diary. I mean…how self centered to think that the world is just out their holding their breath, waiting eagerly to hear what YOU have to say right? Uh, well maybe.

It occurred to me that one COULD really get away with a blog without coming across as an authority on something, or everything for that matter. It is not so much about documenting your success, but more about documenting your journey. There is much to be learned from successes and failures. Plus, I am so tired of being TOO tired to do the things that I love and make me happy. I need to be held accountable. That’s where you come in. There are bound to be others who are on the same paths as I am now and I would love to learn from them. 

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.” Plato. Either way…here I am:)

P.S. My apologies to all you bloggers I previously mocked in silence….I’m sure some of you are nuts, but not ALL of you.
