Blog Detail
a simple enigma
http://asimplenigma.wordpress.com/2009/04/
The theme of this blog is to navigate through our “stuff” or difficulties and live better and simpler lives. That is a vast set of parameters and that's a good thing because it gives us so much room to work with. We start from square one by trying to define who we are, the good, the bad and the ugly. Then we start moving forward, one step at a time, not necessarily knowing where we are going or what it’s going to look like. Because remember, no one person has it all figured out. But I do know one thing, improvement is inevitable when we give ourselves a little slack, work very hard, keep trying and realize that we can’t go at it alone in this crazy, enigmatic world.
What comprises a better and simpler life? We can define that as we go because it just might change for you and not all components are a “one size fits all” definition. One more thing, as vast as the aforementioned parameters are, they are bookmarked by absolute truth. Actually, one more thing. Absolutely no comments about my posts sounding like The Sphinx from Mystery Men. Go see the movie if you didn’t get that…It’s a brilliant movie.
