Simplification
Despite appearances, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. I’m merely taking stock. I fled two blogging jobs that weren’t compensating properly for the amount of time it took. I don’t have that much time right now, so I cut them. I’m cutting feeds right and left – things I just skimmed aren’t worth my time right now. I’ll never leave blogging – it’s my journal, and I’ve been here a very very long time. I’m just simplifying the things that take away brain capacity. Sometimes it feels like I’m full up in my head and everything is sort of sliding off the top ’cause there’s no more room. So I’m making room. I’m also looking into other blogging possibilities – while being properly compensated. I don’t have great expectations, just open to the possibilities. I’m also looking to the possibilities of at-home telecommute positions, in order to get me home before we’re technically out of debt. All part of my plan. Simplification and drawing in close around the nucleus of my family. That’s the intent. I’m not going anywhere… Just closing the sphere a little bit. I’d rather read a few blogs that effect me, rather than hundreds that just sift through. I’d rather have a paid blogging job that pays “real” salaries than “settle” just to say I’m writing. I’d rather work at home than outside the home so I can better instruct my boys in life, instead of giving them a hurried hour before bedtime while mentally drained. I’m circling the wagons.

I understand simplication – ha, but I’m really impressionable – so a long time ago after reading Thoreau I was on this big simply, simply, simply kick!
But really, I got my life down to about 3 main focuses at the time – School/Work/Fitness and it really worked out and improved the quality of stuff I was doing in those three areas.
Nice blog. You’re quite awesome!

And now I realize… I had some terrible typos – or rather, words changed between what I was saying in my head and what actually got typed out -
Simplication obviously = Simplification
Simply clearly = simplify, simplify, simplify
