busy, busy, busy

It's funny that my blog is titled "Searching 4 Simplicity," yet this summer has been busy, busy, busy.  I've had anything but the "simple life."  Between laundry, cleaning, cooking, baseball, baseball, and more baseball, it seems that I've not had much down time.  I'm not complaining, though.  I've enjoyed every minute of it.

Looking ahead, it may just get busier.  More baseball, Vacation Bible School, swimming lessons for both boys, doctor appointments, eye doctor appointments, and hair cuts fill the calendar.  Before I know it, I'll be back to work.  :(

My to-do list isn't getting any shorter, either.  I think I've added more to it than I've crossed off.  Guess that just means I need to get busy (and get off the computer)!

searching. . .

Do you ever feel that life is just a constant whirlwind?  That's how I feel most days.  I have great to-do lists, but I never seem to get stuff checked off of them.  I have great intentions to follow-through with projects, tasks, etc., but I never seem to follow through.  And I even have great ideas that I truly believe I can accomplish, but once again I lack the drive to finish the task.  I have attempted to make my life more simplistic--will utter failure.  BUT, I am not giving up.  I am still searching for simplicity in my life.  Whether it is the clutter lying around the house or the way I organize the coupons, I am not giving up.  I dream of the day that I can sit back, relax, and not have A SINGLE thing running through my mind.  That is what I am searching for.  Simplicity.  No nagging thoughts running rampant through my brain.  No great plans or ideas churning like a tornado through my mind.  Nothing.  Just nothing.  Ahhhhh.
