simple living

[samiraalthores]

Simple living is not about living in poverty or self-inflicted deprivation. Rather, it is about living an examined life - one in which you have determined what is important, or “enough,” for you, discarding the rest.

I've really clarified my goals with regard to environmental stewardship on our Earth.

Thank you to feri_hearted and joad77 for helping me clarify

very nice. :)

It's really helped since I am a yuppie and I am not giving up my job (and my life) to go live in a commune. So I have to compromise - and figure out what is important to me.

[stacyinthecity]

I totally understand.

I had a good time. And I can't tell you how much I appreciate the use of the lamp and how much it is freaking Baubo's world. Well Friday is the last day I will need it.

I've had good results with the full spectrum lamp so I'm assuming it'll help Vitamin D production without hurting your eyes or skin.

What a lovely quote!

I instantly forwarded that to a friend of mine with whom I was just discussing decluttering and simplification yesterday.

Decluttering is my life. I'm organizing and piling stuff up for the big neighborhood garage sale in May. Anything that doesn't go then will go to freecycle and thence to goodwill. Nothing is coming back to the abode.

I have to say that dealing with the emotional issues associated with "clutter" or possessions is the hardest part.

Excellent thought

I've been trying to get closer to Gandhi's saying of "Live simply so that others may simply live" and your version is a wise expansion on that. And now I return to selling my old CDs on Ebay :-)

Thank you! I needed some way to help me understand 'enough' this helps.
Is this a quote by you and may I repeat?

[samiraalthores]

I think I yoinked it from simpleliving.net.
