quotes on simplicity cont.

“Think simple” as my old master used to say – meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.
Frank Lloyd Wright

It’s funny – you know he’s an architecht but what else? I read a bio on him on the net and learned that he had about 3 wives and at one point lived a somewhat double life balancing two seperate families and his career. Sounds like drama to me – it is no wonder he was thinking about keeping things simple. 

Some of his work can be found at www.wrightontheweb.net (in case you aren’t familiar)

So I like this one – it goes with the cliche “getting back to basics”.  So I like to keep things in life simple and drama free.  I think that my quest for this peace gets more and more difficult with each coming day. Whether work drama, family drama, and normal hustle and bustle – it is increasingly harder to accomplish the basic things that I feel would make my life more complete and balanced. 

If When, I get this balance ( I estimate february 2009), I will look to have these parts that make my life whole:

• REAL food – meaning not fake bs but real fruit, real veggies, real ish! I know I will feel better.save some money and probably lose some lbs.
• put first things first – okay I stole that from Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits – but it’s true - my ideal “firsts” are God & Family(my kids)
• Clear Clutter – while this includes actually doing the things I see being done on Clean House rather than just watching, this is a neccessity for my dwelling and my relationships – everything toxic HAS to go – even my bad attitude!

If all goes well, I will be back on a more focused track so I can focus even MORE energy on what matters most – God, Family and fulfilling my passion!!!
