live more simply

I was looking at this goal and asking myself, what more could I do to live more simply? I can’t think of anything. This is kind of one of those work toward goals seasons of life and I’m living very simply right now. I’ve gotten rid of a great deal of excess stuff and I keep a lookout for anymore that I can do. I think I can safely check this one off. =0)

So I sent some more stuff, I think it was yesterday. I feel really very good about this. I have seriously gotten rid of a lot of stuff in the recent months. I don’t think I’m done with this yet either.

and it feels good. =0) I just went through some of my college class materials and found that I didn’t really need to be keeping much of it. I love getting rid of stuff that’s just taking up space.

I’ve got another load ready to drop off. If you think about it, the Christmas season is a fairly good time to do a little cutting down on the amount you own. 1) to make room for the new 2) it helps you see things that it would be really beneficial to ask for, replacements of stuff or upgrades. =0)

I’ve decided that my room is entirely too cluttered and therefore I’m going to try to keep only the things that I use regularly in it. In just what I’ve done so far I’ve already found some things to get rid of even. =0)

I’ve started to try to simplify by just looking for things to get rid of on a regular basis. If a space looks crowded, I try to put things back in their home and also question their need to stay in my home! It actually starts to make a big difference and I’ve seen my family doing the same thing. not sure how that happened.

We had a garage sale today and yesterday. We’ve probably decided that if we never do one again it would really be okay. But, we did make some money, meet some neighbors, and got quite a bit of stuff out of the house. Yay for that! And when the sale was over, we packed up everything to go to either Goodwill, our church library or the Local library. It’s so good to get rid stuff. This is a really good step to a simpler life.
