OK here it is the first blog... a little clumsy and awkward, but I am so determined to get started, The need is great.. Why lighten? One may ask... well.... the word has many definitions referring to letting go of weight, heaviness and adding brightness... and how about "hey why are you so serious? Can't you just lighten up?"....
Well you see this is not one of my strong suits, that lightening up part in any of these ways. I long for simplicity, I am tired of carrying so much emotional and physical weight.
Hey and I heard it is good for the planet, time to get rid of the clutter, lose a few personal possessions. Have a lighter carbon footprint. What about that fun part the lightness of spirit, and no doubt living in Portland I sure could use some Sun.
So it is here on vacation, in California that I begin my quest. Every post I will strive to chronicle my mission to embrace lightening up.
Notice that I am not stating everyday I will post...that would just weigh me down with responsibility so I will lighten that load and feel lighter just knowing that I will post when I damn well feel like it. phew...better already.
