I apologize. This week got away from me. I expained it on Kettle and Cup if you are at all interested… Basically I have filled in my margins of life and am over extened in every direction.
Simplicity should be simple but it isn’t. Somehow we go the idea that we could just choose voluntary simplicity and take our whole lives into it with us. So, rather than laying things aside and choosing the most valuable, best, and most important, we brought all of that into our simplicity and started wondering where our simplicity went.
It’s like taking a case of Snicker Bars to a weight loss clinic.
The first thing you have to do in order to bring simplicity and order to your life is decide what is important and what your priorities are. Don’t forget to put yourself on the list. Try to keep it at a top ten.
I don;t know, that is where I am at right now. I have to make a top ten. I am not sure where I go after that.
How are you achieving simplicity in your life?
