It has been a little while since I have written a blog. But I have been thinking a lot. To be honest I was all ready to blog about how much I hate cell phones. Now I spend a lot of time alone with my thoughts, and with having ADD I have many thoughts and they change and pop in and out a lot. Just before I started writing this blog I was cleaning, as I was going from one job to another. You know I can’t just do one thing at a time. It hit me like running into a brick wall. Now just for the record I have never run into a brick wall that I can remember, but anyways. A big problem I have in my life is too much. I know that is a general statement but please bear with me here. Yesterday I was hanging out with someone I have not seen in awhile, and they are very close to me. Everytime their cell phone rang, they would answer it. This would leave me sitting there with no one to talk to. This is where my hatred for the cell phone came from. Now just for the record the person I was with is not a working person who was on call. Thinking about this for awhile brings me to my new theory we will call it. The problem with the world and with life is “Too Much”. The cell phone is a great invention. I do own a cell phone of my own. But if you never turn the ringer off and always have it on and always have to answer it. The cell phone becomes a hindrance. This goes for anything. I was just running around cleaning up, and picking things up. Now most of it was used once and thrown out, or I just had too damn many of them. I have had a huge pile of clothes in the basement that I have not worn in at least 6 months. But there they are down stairs causing everyone in the house stress, and making more work. I don’t think I have met many people in my life who say they have too much time. Life has been taken over my “Too Much”. You have heard of the term keeping up with the Jones. This refers to getting newer and better stuff, sacrificing fincial futures, family time, and life. When it comes to my issues with the corporate world it is not what they sell that I mostly disagree with. But that they push it and try to sell more, and more. Alcohol is not bad. Studies have shown that is small amounts some of it can be good for you. It is not the one drink that kills people on the road it is Too Much. One can of coke will not kill you but Too Much coke is not good for you. I wonder how much stuff people have in their home that they don’t even know they have it or never use it. Think of all the money that is waisted. Now I am not saying that I don’t indulge in Too Much, because I do. And it has lead me to a pile of debt, life threatening health problems, and leaves me asking what happened to my life. I am not posting this to preach, but I wanted to share my thoughts with you. I will leave with a few lines from a song that I love.
“My Grandpa farmed for a livin', Content to live the simpler kind of life. My Grandma worked in the kitchen, Awfully proud to be that farmer's wife. They used to say that they'd got everything that they need, Each mornin' they wake up: Four walls, three words, two hearts, one love.”
The song is call Four Walls, by Randy Travis
