Simple Living, Simplifying My Life

 

I often wonder how and why it takes so long to get to simple living. It seems like I have been working towards this for a number of years. 

I am hoping that each year I get just a bit closer to my goal. Pretty sure the more I declutter and get back to living the way my ancestors did is doing just that. I don't mean hitting my clothes on rocks by the river, but I do mean growing more of my own food, finding ways to make my own cleaning products, and just relying a bit less on what advertising tells me I need. 

Decluttering makes space for canning, dehydrating, storing garden produce and in my mind peace. This is probably one reason I am using my Kobo more than heading out and purchasing reading material. I know I could use the library, but I love owning the book I am reading. My husband often says that I am the only person he knows that will re-read a book numerous times.

With prices on the rise once again, and the scare of tariffs across the world getting ever closer, one does need to rethink what one purchases. A person needs to make good choices when shopping and really plan ahead. 

Life is full of choices and I hope all of us make the right choices in the coming months.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
