Blanketed Simplicity

I had an a ha! moment with this little project last night.  I am more than half way through my 365 days.  In fact, I am nearing two thirds.  And the thing is, the more the sun shines and the warm air calls my attention, I feel so much more of a pull to become unplugged from it all; not from the lack of gratitude, but more of a longing for simplicity.

Last night, I was curled up in a chair, crocheting a huge blanket, completely content to just be.  I had no desire to do anything else but simply be.  And for that necessity of simplicity, I am grateful.

I think that the fast pace life and technological world we live in has taken something away from our lives. It has taken away our socialistic skills and pushed us to be "busy" in moments we now miss.  I have felt the evolution of my 365 day blog in the recent weeks.  I felt a pull away from it, almost a stale quality to it.  I can't see myself continuing this project beyond the year - at least not on a day to day basis.  I think it will become more of a writing tool and life experience project.  I often wonder if that will happen before the 365 days expire...and I wonder if anyone will notice.

Until then, I carry on... one blanket, or one post at a time.
