Simple, but significant.

The title of this post is from Mad Men.  I love that show.  But, it describes perfectly how I want to live.  I want a simple life.  I don't want for much. Happiness for my daughter and husband. Happiness for myself.

Most of the things I do want for aren't even material things.

I want life experiences.
I want laughter.
I want tears.  You have to have the tears to appreciate the laughter. And, let's face it, often we need a good cry.
I want more babies. And grandbabies.
I want to make a home.
I want a career that makes me feel fufilled but doesn't keep me from experiencing my daughter's childhood.

I want a simple life.  But, I want it to be significant.  I want to really live it.

I have spent far too much of my life sitting around watching tv, sleeping, etc.  I want to start living!! I want to make memories with my daughter and my husband. 

When I'm an old lady dying in my bed (my ideal death scenario) I want to know that I used up every drop of experience I could.

This blog is a record of my new life mission. 

I can't wait to begin!
