Getting older....

Good Morning,

I didn't do a birthday post this year. I didn't see the value in it.

As I mature, in conjuction  with getting older, I am finding a lot of my tastes are changing. For example I am want a more cohesive and thought out house. I have been stuck in the college rag tag missmash style and it isn't doing it for me any more. It is not planned and reactionary style. Don't get me wrong, it works and allows you to have place for your stuff, but it isn't where I am anymore.

I am getting into mor minimalistic approach to living. I have thrown out so much stuff. The acid test for me was whether or not I had used it. Given that it had been in the garage or under the stairs for the last few years, the answer was no. A lot of what I Thought was nifty is gone too. I had a bottle/can collection from when I worked at the bottle depot. I cashed that in. I had a lot of 'junk' that I have just gotten rid of. It is stuff that I had a plan for but never got around to it. I evaluated the plan and realized that I would never do it. I don't need to keep crap around for a project that I am never going to do.

We are working through more. There is some waste. We throw away a current solution for a new solution that hasn't materilzed and we end up stalling inbetween solutions. IE, office supplies, we don't have a cohesive place for them. It is a work in progress in making our house a livable area that is uncluttered and effective.

That style is in fashion as well. I am getting away from Jeans and T-shirts. That is my weekend uniform, but not for work. I am finding I am liking that little extra bit of style. It is also necessary for my future in this company.

I finally feel like I am becoming a man.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
