Space Oddity

According to Wikipedia, Space Oddity is written from the perspective of an unnamed person who is questioning Major Tom intensely about the purpose of life.

Seems like an appropriate theme song for today.

Speaking of purposes, I am currently reading Stephen Cope's, The Great Work of Your Life: The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita.  It's incredibly insightful and reflective; and hopefully, a valuable resource for someone seeking there true calling, or dharma, in life.  I'll let you know once I've finished.

I've decided to take a few vacation days.  The plan is to start on the Sell Your Crap Get Out of Debt journey.  As a matter of fact today, we sold the extra vehicle we had for $2,500, which went toward paying off my car.  I'm proud to say we owe just over $2,000 now.  Not sure if it was the wisest thing to do.....selling the one vehicle that was paid off.  The logic, I suppose, was it was almost 15 years old and had seen better days.  Do we continue to pay to have things repaired or buy a more reliable option? 

Beginning tomorrow, I will start the inventory process.  Going through each room and deciding, does it stay or does it go?  Does it add joy, value, or purpose?  These sort of tasks always leave me feeling overwhelmed and the end result is no action.  No action is unacceptable this time.  Start small and big things will happen. 

Stay tuned.
