"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

couldn't sleep.

had nightmares.

heard creepy noises from my old house.

desi woke up a who knows what time and had to go outside.

snoozed for an hour.

was so tired i couldn't figure out how to turn my alarm off-i just thought it was playing me music.

woke up at 7:15.

still got to work early.

will go to bed early tonight.

no nightmares.  hopefully.

Today, at work, was great.  I only had one message to return from ten days of being gone.  That's nice. 

The one constant in my day was something I read in another blog last night.  I can't remember which one...but it said that each year, you should pick a word...kind of like a motto for that year.  This person's word was simplify.  S.I.M.P.L.I.F.Y.

I dig it.  I want to steal their word and make it my own.  Nothing I do is simple.  I want to start the year fresh and simplify.  I don't want stress.  I don't want the headache of it.  I want to have a simple but still glorious year in 2011.  I think it's a change that needs to be made.  Like....I don't have the ability to watch television anymore.  Cable or otherwise.  I think I'm going to force myself to be ok with this...if I really want to watch tv, I'll go to a friend's...or my folk's house.  I think it's become ok to be at home in silence.  (if I want noise, I can sing, I can play music, I can let the dogs out so I can hear them bark, I can wash dishes, I can do laundry.)  I think I need to simplify my life, starting now...Well, maybe tomorrow.  I'm too tired now.  And I'm going to....once I figure out exactly how this works.  I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them...
