The title this blog is part of a song by The The, from one of my all time favourite albums. The song lyrics that speak to me: The only true freedom/is freedom from the heart's desires/and the only true happiness/this way lies... I'm trying to find freedom from the daily discontent, the nagging part of me that thinks, almost constantly, that I should be doing something else - wanting something else - wanting to realize goals sooner, or just the constant second guessing - stay home with my daughter? Hmmn. I really want to be working, too. Back to work? Damn, I want to be staying home with Anna. I'm really very interested in contentment. I think part of that is to keep track of life, take pictures of the everyday, write journal entries - then I've got proof of the good life I've got, right in front of my eyes, and that will help me realize there's so much there to appreciate, that I have so many of my heart's desires right here, right now - and that should bring some freedom.
