How did I get into this simple living thing: Part 2

I am not sure how many parts this article series is going to have. Part of the reason of starting this blog was to help myself make sense out of my thoughts which has become an overwhelming process.

I have started this journey to simple living because many reasons.

These are in no particular order.

Our addiction to oil, we drive two small cars a neon and a cobalt. My wife and I have toyed with the idea of biking, My biggest concern besides being the only bike on a road filled with cars is the fact I am a manager if I bike to work i would be very sweaty with no chance to shower, I am not sure how that would work, I still need my job.

Out out of control waste, we have started a compost pile in a bin by our garden. So now I am very excited about making dirt my wife thinks I have lost my mind. She told her mother, now she has another reason to not like me, and she is keeping a pretty detailed list. We are in the process of working out a system to recycle, one of the few things me wife and I agree on.

Too much T.V. couple with lack of person to person communication, I got a birthday card from a friend via facebook, I was really bothered by that, I think the digital age is out of hand.

My wife working and us having to have our two boys watched 3 or 4 days a week. The good thing both sets of grandparents are willing to watch them so we do not have to worry about money or who is watching them. We do have to worry about them getting too many jelly beans, at least they are Jelly Belly brand.

well that is all I can think of right now I know I will think of more and that will be tommorow, I think.
