My Mind Is Racing...

Just write something. Anything, I was told. Write something every day. Let your mind flow. It doesn’t matter what comes out. It is just getting into the habit of writing every day and keeping that habit, that is the important part.

So, here I am. Writing. This is the babble that is coming to my mind. Actually my mind is a jumble. Money issues. Wanting to begin a minimalist lifestyle. Thinking about moving to a new home in a few months. This is all flowing through my mind. Over and over. It just comes in some sort of weird circular pattern. One thought or idea leading to another and then eventually flowing back to the original thought.

Money issues. Gosh. I swear I am always broke and cannot get ahead. I don’t even spend on any luxuries anymore. Necessities are at a bare minimum. But, it seems there is always something cropping up. I am vowing to start an emergency fund and add to it every payday. Something will go in there even if it is only a dollar or two. Every spare penny is going into that.

The minimalism and moving are going hand in hand. I love the idea of having only essential items in my home. I want objects around me that are only truly useful and beautiful to me. I want to be in control of my belongings, not them in control of me. This may help a bit with the financial issues too. I am going to try and sell as much as possible of the excess things I have. Anything I earn will be split evenly between the emergency fund and Christmas.

See, all kind of things spinning in my mind. It is no wonder I feel so overwhelmed sometimes. But, things are looking up and are bound to get easier and better.

First Post

I wanted a place to record my thoughts, ideas and plans. A blog seemed like a great place to do this. I can go back and reread them at any time, and if anyone else is interested, they also have access.

This was just a quick test post. I will have a longer, introductory post very soon.
