This is a repurposed blog. It used to be called "My Baby Hates This," and was going to blog all the home made baby food dishes Anna refused, complete with pictures of her cute disgusted face as she was rejecting the item, and recipes. Well, chalk that one up to yet another project that I had an idea for an abandoned in the years since Anna arrived on the scene. So now this spot has a different purpose, and a new name.

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.
