Growing Wiser

As I write this, I'm very aware of the time that passes more and more quickly with each year. I sound like a grey-headed woman in her rocking chair on the front porch. I'm only in my late twenties, but I have reached the portion of my life where most of my dreams are no longer set in some far off place decades from now. In my mind, they are played out in the near future. They're of the down-to-earth sort I remember my parents having - installing hardwood floors, owning a small piece of property in the mountains, retiring with money in the bank. I recall thinking, Whoa, don't get too crazy Dad. You might bust an artery.

With each passing season I see myself, with these smaller, more attainable dreams. They actually excite me more and seem richer and deeper than those of years passed. That's why this blog is called Idealistically Simple. If I could explain myself today and the goals I have for the future, I think this would be the necessary description. My plan is to chronicle my life as it evolves with my changing dreams, desires and tastes, hopefully only getting better with time. Feel free to use and share any ideas you find here with anyone, anywhere you like.

Enjoy!
