Living or Surviving?


with all this talk of economy, gas, food shortages, etc...have to ask myself am i living or just surviving?


could I live with less and still be happy?

am I spending most of my time taking care of my possessions and things?


are my possessions there for me or am I SERVING my possessions.

I start to wonder when I spend most of my waking moments taking care of THINGS....


I remember there was a Cathy (remember her?) cartoon that said: "the 80's woman" and it had all these inanimate THINGS in the background screaming commands at her as if they were ALIVE. "Water me, feed me, clean me, file me, cook me, paint me, help me, fix me, wash me...."


That is exactly how I feel....

I am beginning to weigh quality vs. quantity....
