Sharing A New Year

We're back !! Six weeks spent visiting with my family was superb !
It is, however, good to be home ...

I've been thinking a bit about my life ... you know, with it being the new year and all that jazz. Thinking about how I want to live. What I want my life to mean. What I think is important. I'll share more with you another day but today I want to tell you about something I noticed while we were away.

I felt my head clear. No muddled thoughts. Not so much forgetting what people said. A longer attention span. An ability to pay closer attention to conversations I was having. Not feeling like there was a major metropolis buzzing with activity in my brain !!

Why ? Well ... I have a theory.

You ready for it ?

I barely touched the computer while I was in the States.

Yeah, I jumped on facebook a couple of times, sent a couple of emails and even managed a few blog posts ... but for the most part, I wasn't on the computer.

I think that all the time spent on the computer, even though the things I do are (mostly) worthwhile, muddles my brain !! I think it makes my thoughts go into overdrive. It makes there be too many things vying for my attention.

I don't like my head being foggy. I don't like muddled thoughs or metropolis-brain. I like this clarity. The quiet in my mind.

Balance. That's what it's all about, right ? With everything. Maybe that will be one of my key words for the year. Not that I have ever had a key word for a year but I'm thinking this year, maybe I should.

Balance and Simplicity. Oh, and here's a couple more I was thinking of the other day ... relish, cherish, enjoy. Wait, I wasn't going to tell you about that stuff yet ...

Soon ...

It's good to be home !
