MegaPICTURE!

Hmm, I have a few seconds to myself right now so I guess I can think a bit about the MegaPICTURE. I want to be a happy, healthy, active, social, green, spiritual, giving, loving, intellectual, orderly, considerate girl. I want to pack life full. I know that many people talk about a rich life of simplicity, truly less being more. However, I feel as if many of those people spent their youth chasing after something that was imposed on them and living up to other people's ideas of success. Then they had their mid-life crisis and realized that they didn't need the kind of success that they had been sold on. I don't think that this holds true for me--I am not trying to win the rat race and I'm aware of how commercialism influences my wants. I want a life full of experiences and knowledge and people, the types of things that make life rich.

I am still sticking with my email plan (considerate + orderly), drinking water (healthy), and reading my devotions (spiritual). In a minute, I am going to do chores that I have been putting off, so I will work on being orderly. Tomorrow I am volunteering with a local historic preservation group, which will be a giving activity. For a while, my motto was: Do it now! And that helped a great deal with keeping up with housework. Maybe I should re-adopt it.
