Blogs and Fog

Since creating this blog, I have left it to sit as I needed it to be blank space for a bit.

I needed an identity to be able to comment on others' blogs.

I enjoy others' blogs especially creative sorts, frugal and minimalist ones, personal finance savvy ones where non-spending or reusing are the focus.  Tons and tons of other blogs such as women written/woman subject blogs about where they are in life, we can all so relate to those wonderful inner feelings we have, some women can just write it up so well and so succinct, those I honor with gratitude for putting it out there.  My reading does cover quite a range of blogs and news but I now need to ratchet it back as it consumes too much time and I am staring at the computer screen too much - I can see or actually I am starting to unsee a bit, the excessive computer time is affecting my eyesight just a bit.  I find that occurs as we head into late Fall and Winter.  It doesn't occur in late Spring nor Summer. 

Then a few weeks ago we (DH and I) were talking about the future, this time far more in detail.  We have more dreams.  Where we are located now is/was good but it is waning.  It doesn't help that we have had persistent fog and overcast for over half the month.  No rain so that is helpful but the fog.  I find myself trying to chase the sun around town, finding a clearing somehow of the fog to catch a fleeting ray of sunshine.  I brought it up to DH that I may have reached my limit here.  I utilized 'may have' so it isn't an ultimatum to anyone but I already know I have reached it.

I think I will delve into this topic herein.  Not a rant but what we are putting together as our dream forward and what we are going to do about it. 

We are going to make a pretty big jump.  2014 is the year.  The remainder of 2013 and early 2014 is for strategic planning.  We are going to divest of the excess, the house, the garden, the belongings.  It will be a refocus of what is important.  We divested 8 years ago from a major west coast metro area south of us.  Sold that house, dumped and donated a lot but we turned around and bought a house up here too soon after arriving.  It is a nice house that backs up to a forest.  It fit the bill at the time but in retrospect we both wish we hadn't jumped in so quickly.  If we waited a year and rented, the outcome would have been different.  We have a different perspective now and have had for a few years, we are just waiting it out.  But now, we are looking to the future of what we want and starting to verbalize each of our wants and desires for our lives individually and combined.

I think writing it out for myself is helpful.  I am a bit shy and will hide names, locations and identities as I cannot abide with being so transparent, so open or I guess vulnerable .... not just yet.
