Pervasive... the very first definition.
I often think of myself as a really low maintenance kind of chick. I don't wear makeup (for many reasons). One of my many reasons is not wanting to be sorta addicted to something that runs out and must be replaced. I have enough health-maintenance stuff that has that problem. I don't want to also have appearance maintenance stuff, too!
My husband and I choose to live very simply to reduce financial burdens that would otherwise have crushed us, especially given how things have played out during 2016!
As it is, some things have come together to show me just how much I rely on THINGS.
Take for instance a cell phone. How does one function in this world for long without a phone... cell phone is taking the phone thing to the max... but even just a regular handset phone that has only a certain range from its base.
A week I can do. Beyond that and I start to feel anxiety... and think something is going to happen and I'm not going to be able to hack it because I don't have a phone of any sort. Why even think such things? I mean, that really doesn't help things at all. But that is definitely my most constant battlefield: my thoughts.
It doesn't feel good to realize my degree of materialism is higher than I've been working for it to be. Very disappointing. And, of course, there are good parts in the bad. Good realizations... good to know ways I need to change my thoughts.
Now... to change them!
