Setting a Purpose

Ever since putting up my first post, I've been wondering just what to write next. While sitting around tonight doing not much of anything, it occurred to me that maybe - just maybe! - there should actually be somewhat of a purpose to the ramblings I put here, on the off-chance that anyone becomes particularly interested enough to keep reading and see what I'm up to. However, since I started this out as a way to simply offer my own commentary and try to explain why I am the way that I am, I had to think about a good purpose.

The only thing I managed to come up with was the idea of making everyday just a little more special. I suppose I'm going to start using the term "fancy" very loosely, because I'm sure a lot of the things that I do with myself are not fancy at all, just slightly more elaborate versions of something everyone does. Essentially my goal will be to do everything that I do in the best way possible. Instead of using my dining room table as a surface for debris, I might actually consider using it to eat on - with real plates, real napkins, real silverware and real glasses! In fact, today I took a step towards that by clearing all my fabric and sewing paraphernalia off of the table and actually adorning it with some flowers and placemats.

For some people, the things that I accomplish will seem unnecessary and for others they will probably seem too simple. I expect there's a wide range of thought in this department. Well, that's why this is a learning process! I'm not trying to be Martha Stewart or anything, though I suppose being somewhat Martha-like wouldn't hurt anybody!

It's late now, so I won't go into more detail than this for now, but I've been rethinking some values and various other things, and I'll likely start sharing that as the days go by. Stay tuned.
