According to my sister, my life is not that complicated. I only have one child, I'm a teacher and I don't have many extra-curricular activities. She thinks a maid and sending laundry out will pretty much simplify my life.
Of course my first reaction is remove her from my "comment" team. I want to say something really nasty back to her, but she is pregnant, and my sister and this is the day I'm trying to not say anything bad about anyone. I want to at least check one question yes on my day 1 list.
I want your support, NOT your honesty. Oh wait, I do want your honesty. I'm trying to change, even if it is just my thought process that needs to be changed.
So, how do you decide if your life is at that level of complication that is enough to keep you challenged and productive and not so much where you want to get in your car and drive away and never look back? What is the right level of simplification? Is it possible to simplify too much, to have too little expectation for yourself?
I don't know. That is why I'm writing this blog and going on this journey. What I do know is that I have a hard time keeping up with all I have to do. I am often crabby with the people I care most about because I have used up my patience somewhere else during the day. I am sick a lot. I wish I had more energy. I can't or don't find time for things that I really enjoy. I don't know how to relax anymore.
I think I can do better. I want my life to be better. I think simplification will make it better. I just don't know exactly how to get from here to there.
