Thoughts

I have been thinking a lot lately (scary I know) on a few things.
But mostly it can be summed up in one question:
Why do we worry and get stressed over things that really don't matter but not worry and get things done that really do?

As I have pondered over this question I think about my own life.
I am a huge list maker and goal planner.  I love writing things down.  But as far as actually getting them done I am getting better but not where I should be.  I also have a lot of junk and I worry about what people think.
But as of lately, I have been pondering about why. 
As far as a lot of stuff, I think about how much stuff I have and is it really important for me to have.   Probably not for most of it.  But then why do I have it?  Comfort?  May be I'll use it some day?  I don't know exactly.  But it really doesn't help to have a bunch of stuff I don't need because it gets cluttery and therefore I have unessecary (can't spell) things cluttering up my life.  Making more stress.

The list and goal making.  That is all fine and good but am I doing what is important?  Am I putting the most important things first?  Am I being an effective goal and list maker?  What are my priorities?

I have been realizing that as humans we really do put way too much stress upon ourselves that we don't need.  This life really doesn't have to be that complicated.

Therefore, I am going to work on something each month.  What I haven't decided.  Whether it be a cleaning project or a goal or something I don't know.  But I will keep you posted. 

Part of the decluttering of my life was to get rid of Facebook.  I felt like I was just getting upset at all of the negativity on there.  People worrying about what others said or did.  Just got too much for me.  It has been so very nice not to have it. 

Anyway.  Just some random thoughts of mine I am throwing out there.  If you have any suggestions on organizing please let me know. 

Lots of love!
