Taradenise is pondering future goals.
I’m not sure this goal can ever be achieved. For me, it will be an ongoing daily goal. I especially need to learn to not sweat the small stuff if I’m ever going to simplify my life.
timps10 this is my long-term life list. My short term one is under kuertengirl
How I did it: Two things: First I just gave up on this goal and let it happen naturally. Second I said to myself- if I don't prioritize my life I'll never be a true success because i'll always be drawn in too many directions- so choose. And then I proceeded to trim down my lists of goals and interests to what's truly important. This time (as I've done this a billion times before) it just felt right. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I finally came to terms with the fact that some people simply cannot change. Once that was taken care of, it was all a matter of completely severing ties with the nefarious culprit and moving on.My only regret? Not having done this sooner. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had been feeling more and more unsatisfied with my experience in the Catholic church, and now that I'm out I feel life is simpler, if not just more authentically me, not hiding my feelings and thoughts. Read how I did it…

I am going to get read of unnecessary items, go totally digital with my books and music, and buy a much smaller house.
venusian2 is greeting everyone a great weekend! ;-)
messes me up. I should simplify my life..I think I really should do it. I mean I live simply but what gives me tension (that’s another thing!)is the fact that I do expect too much from things (to happen?), people (esp special people in my life)..I guess what I should focus on are the blessings…count them..appreciate them…forget those expectations coz my happiness should not rely on them…
Hope I can integrate these in my life..slowly…so..
I can finally lead a simple life…
Thank God..I still have you ;-)

I had a real good tidy up to try and clear my space and my head so I could simplify the area around me but now its just a mess again as is my head!?
Melissa so much better...
So today I plan to work on the master bedroom. We have crap stuffed under the bed, in the nightstands, the bottom drawers of the dresser, the closet (ugh…the closet) and stuff lying in the corners just sitting there. In my defense, the majority of the “crap” is my husband’s. I prefer getting rid of stuff and having wide open spaces. My husband prefers to keep random crap such as car parts for vehicles he no longer owns. Don’t get me started on the garage. Its like a black abyss with random junk lying on the floor that reaches out and tries to trip you in the dark. But back to the bedroom. I plan to purge the bedroom and get rid of stuff we no longer use. If we haven’t used it, read it, played with it or worn it in the past year, its outta here!

just asked if he could have all the juniors and seniors from the soccer team to come and stay at the house after homecoming, plus their dates. 16 of them. I am excited to have a house full, though I have to leave for work through the night. My guy however will be here to play watch dog and host. He loves to cook so in the morning he’ll whip them all up breakfast.
Though this isn’t exactly simplifying, it is exciting. I’ve a lot to do today.
hobknobhill is cleaning like crazy!!!
One is cleaning up my laptop. Not the whole thing—just the number of sites I had open to read. I probably had 8-10 open. I now have 4 and I am going to close another today. While we were gone to my MIL’s, hubby used my computer and closed all my tabs. Then we couldn’t get them back and I had to search through history for all of them. Talk about frustration! So I decided that I need to get done with them and spend my time more wisely.
The other thing that simplified my life completely, I didn’t even have to do anything about. A family that we were helping decided to move back to the state they came from. Their life was a soap opera and we were never able to plan on things with them because always a crisis came up. We said goodbye to them last night and I hope they have a better time there. I feel a huge relief from their moving back.

I accidentally challenged myself to have my life simplified within one week instead of having the hall painted. I see another failure to complete looming ahead now. hah!

My guy has brought stuff here. There’s now 2 microwaves, 2 coffeepots, extra trash cans, cleaning supplies, dishes, towels and more. This happened last week.
More stuff. groans

My son whom was hurt in football has been having to see a Dr for his knee. He is better, still in a brace to protect the ligaments, so this means no football still. He’s not too pleased with that, but it’s needed and he understands that. At least he is now off the crutches.
We did have a nice breakfast together after the dr’s visit this morning. After I dropped him off at school I made my way home to find that my dog for the first time in a week and a half decided not to destroy something while I was gone. Life is taking a turn up after a blitz of chaos last week.
