live simply

was down to a jeep load for the move; added back another load – having a bed & table & chairs & dishes is probably not a bad thing ;-)

and the job is still the same sort of thing – not sure if that’s a complication.

and now i’m looking for a gym, and a house eventually. and then there’s the things to do. a contradiction with other goals, perhaps ? need to give this more serious thought, apparently. what exactly is “simply” ?

then again, compared to many lives, mine is pretty straightforward.

all it takes is one goal to start, like this couple did.

also cross-posted in the sail the world item.

ironically – or simply paradoxically – elimination of extraneous goals is part of this. endeavouring to fill up one’s 43 things list is counterproductive in this regard. minimize, minimalize, focus…

of course, i’m not one to talk. i feel trapped by what is really a relatively minor amount of posessions. i want to be able to pick up and go anywhere, do anything, at a moment’s notice.

unfortunately, our nows are made of thens that used to be our futures. so goals are a necessary evil, as is too the baggage of preparation in gear and mind.
