Question!! Take a few steps back and question. That's what my all time favorite book Your Money or Your Life, a gift from my dad who also enjoyed the read, had me do. This fabulous book asked me what would you do if you had enough money each month to live on? Basically are you happy with your current job/life or are you surviving/existing?
I have to say that I like my life to be as simple as possible. Now, I am still high maintenance (and my dad says that I am the worst kind...simple yet very high maintenance). It would be safe to say that I have high expectations. I enjoy my little life here in Ireland with my little daughter, our little house and our little friends. We do not drive a car and this makes me very happy. The footprint we make on the earth is something I think about often. I am happy with our enough.
What is your enough? Every one's enough is very different. But finding your enough is pure happiness, it's freedom really. Your know where to head, where to strive for. You have defined your compass and no one else can change this. It's fabulous really.
Today Question in a good way. Find out how you are living and find your truth & your happiness. Your enough.
Take a look at Your Money or Your Life. I guarantee that it will become a reference tool in your life.

I suppose with a condition like mine its been rather easy to look at the big picture and find my "enough". I practice it daily whether I think about it or not.
But I am also constantly searching, or moving. More forcibly than willingly, but it is all for the best.
My enough has to do with my connections to people, I may not be good at keeping them open and sharing as I'd like but I want to know if anyone needs anything or if I'm being a bad person. I will do anything in my power to help anyone who asks, as long as they are someone I know.
I suppose saying life as a whole being enough would be too broad since there are so many tiny little things you can analyze and say...hey thats not enough! But I believe its pretty enough...I do want to stop being a burden to people though, thats my goal at the moment.
As for relationships I'm happy with the way I am. I will keep acting the way I act and if that scares people off then so be it. I refuse to change something I feel so strongly about. Even if the whole world is telling me that "love" is somehow wrong...well fuck em. I don't see how we can get so far in this society only to be pretty much fucked in the "love" department.
Whatever! Life is a constant experiment and I'm happy with the ways things turned out. I can leave this world in peace if I were to end up dying, so yea.
