Glad to hear it!

It always amazes me that people actually read what I post. I usually just post my ponderings on whatever I'm interested in at the moment - sort of a stream of conciousness. I'm always exploring something.

Right now, I've been reflecting on middle class values and consumerism. Our society has pushed the values of consumerism to expand our markets - a constant round of rising expectations. But our current economy has brought a dose of realism. - we are now having to contend with the concept of lowered expectations.

Which brings me to exploring core values - of simplfying my life - and a better understanding of what brings true happiness. In other words a return to the basics and a rejection of consumerism. (Of course, if everyone rejected consumerism - than the economy would get worse - and expectations would need to be further lowered....)

Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate it more than you could guess....

cheers man.i'm sure i'll be visiting again
