Okay, so I'm just on the phone with my lovely twin sister, Linsey, and we're chatting about the whole blog posting thing. Linsey is a heavy duty blogger. Me.....not so much. Why? Because my life is truly crazy. Out of control. I mean, I have a HUGE deadline at work on Thursday. I'll be up until midnight working on that, and I still won't be even close to being where I would *like* to be. (I work some strange hours, since I live in Eastern Canada and have fairly leisurely mornings with my kids, but still, midnight is late to be working). My house could use some serious attention...we still have suitcases from our December trip to California scattered about the house, in various stages of unpackedness (is that a word?) and TONS of little projects that need to be tackled. I have lots of bills to catch up on. Various Christmas cards to respond to. Pictures to organize and post somewhere. Social events to plan and partake in. My to-do list is a mile long.
Do I really have time for blogging?
Yet THIS blog, Simplicity Sake, appeals to me. My life could use some streamlining. In the past month or so, I have found myself in conversations with people all centered around the subject of simplicity. Of enjoying life. Of being okay with mediocrity. Of celerating the things that really matter. It is pretty easy to get swallowed up into the intoxication of success at work or a super-organized home or the perfect birthday party for your 2-year-old. I don't want to miss out anymore. And I think a lot of people are on the same page as I am on that.
So I'll do a blog post. It might not be a stunning work of literary genius. But it will be where I am today. Ten minutes out of my life to focus on some thought for myself. That's not a bad start.
