Simple.

There's this saying that I've seen in e-mails here and there and it goes like this: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways at an insane rate of speed, wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, with the body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

Can I just say that that is completely not any desire of mine for life. Now, I have some family members that use this phrase in their signatures for their e-mail, so if you're reading this, don't be offended. I don't mean to offend anyone. :) I'm just saying that I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, including what I want out of life and I've come to this conclusion: I just want to live a simple life. Is that weird?

Now, I'm not saying that I don't want to have any fun and I'm not saying that I want to be numb and lifeless to life, either. After all, I'm always up for getting together with friends and family, playing games, going to various events, etc., and having a good time! I'm just saying that I don't want to be extreme about life. I think that if I live a quiet, inconspicuous, Godly life, I'll be happy. I couldn't ask much more than that, really. I don't feel a need to work up the career ladder and be uber-successful, nor do I feel the need to do wild and crazy things in the event that I regret NOT doing them when I'm older.

I just want to have a simple life. That's all. I'd be happy with that. :)
