Simplify!
This is one of the words I was looking forward to! I couldn't wait to get here because I felt like I needed it so badly! I haven't felt able to keep up with the things I have to do daily (dishes, laundry) let alone do anything else! So I've been feeling the need to simplify what is around me.At the beginning of the month I started reading a book called Organized Simplicity (see also www.simplemom.net). I'm enjoying it! We've had talks about our family purpose. I'm thinking about my own personal top 10 priorities. When I have priorities and purpose, I don't need to do things that don't fit!
More thoughts are coming about Simplicity this month but for now, I'll just say - I've started unsubscribing from email newsletters and removing lots of pages from my facebook likes. It feels good to work on the digital clutter!
I'm still behind on dishes and laundry (let alone thinking about the big move - sheesh) but I'm trying to remind myself that step by step I can journey to a simpler existence (I'm one of those people that wants to BE THERE ALREADY). And if I don't make it by April the movers are going to pack up all my stuff and haul it across the country anyway.
One good way to simplify...move across the country. Selling or donating things you don't need...perfect timing.
