I figure what better time to start blogging about my
adventures (both past and present) then the start of a new year. And 2012 will
likely be the most life changing year yet. A move to another province. A new
environment, friends, new obstacles, eventually employment. What amounts to an
entirely new life will unfold in the next few months.
I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let me start with a brief introduction. I am
your writer, JS. I am in my mid thirties, married to an
incredible woman, have 2 wonderful daughters, an energetic Australian Sheppard
and an aging cat. I currently hold a steady job as a senior manager at a
manufacturing facility where I have been employed for 15 years. Yes, 15 years.
I live in a suburb of Toronto in Ontario, Canada and am debt free. There, that
should suffice for now.
But there's more to this blog then the usual ramblings of a
middle class citizen trying to survive and eek out a living in time to retire
and be too old to enjoy the fruits of my labour. There are many blogs doing a
good job of this already that I visit frequently and would highly recommend.
Don’t get me wrong, there will be plenty of that to find
here but that's not what the core of this blog is about. Mixed in with rants,
venting , financial woes, frugality advice, recipes and the occasional 'visit
this website because it's cool ' tangent, this blog will serve as a journal of
my adventures into the great unknown that is 2012. You see, I am about to
become jobless, move to a different province and experience a vastly different
way of life.
All of this is self-induced and fueled by a desire to
experience more, raise my daughters more meaningfully, escape consumerism and
try to live a more simple, purposeful life.
I realize this is a lot to take on. I really do. But with my
wife supporting my decision I know it can be accomplished. Perhaps with a few
failures and realizations along the way.
I hope you enjoy reading these entries. Comments, questions,
general rants and raves are always welcomed at vanishingpointNS@gmail.com.
