This is a good one and exactly the way I feel about materialisitic things. It is easy to get caught in the trap of the greatest deal or the latest item- but when its all over with- its the inside that counts. Let's hold hands and sing Koombaya now.

I just long for simplicity and simplicity and more simplicity. It's become a high-priced novelty these days and it kills me. Simplicity is a luxury in the form of 5 acres in a stucco house in the woods on a lake somewhere in the Carolinas where Floridians and New Yorkers long to retire, far away from billboards... though the irony is that you find out about those kinds of dwellings on billboards on the interstate... I hate it. But I'm trying and keeping on. And every time I find something that is legitimately cheerleading re-thinking simple living, I embrace it heavily... I like pretty shiny things as much as the next person with eyes but lately, for a few years now, nearly everything feels more distracting than inspiring to me. Wow, rant. Oops...! <3 Oh, I know all about that last “Sigh” of yours. :)

I had to go check your blog. Nuts that we were on the same page today! That graduation speech you posted has been haunting me quite a bit too. I've been catching up on my Google reader today and just got flooded with a sea of vapid posts and I realized the power these things have. (Self indugent trust-fund twits doing the stereotypical pigeon-toed pose in their outrageously expensive shoes.) More and more people have become readers so, I wanted to set some things straight. I've also been bathing in the joy of meaningful meaningfulness lately. Sigh. Wow… I had to go check your blog. Nuts that we were on the same page today!
