Welcome to My Experiment in Simplifying my Life

Hello and welcome to my experiment.

I decided that my life has gotten way too fast and way too complex. I realize that I am missing many of the most important things because I am moving way too fast to appreciate the simple things in life. So, I have decided that in 2011, I am going to do nothing that is overly complex, will return to eating simple, healthy foods, looking for the simple solutions to every day problems and learn to appreciate the very simple pleasures of being a wife and mother in 2011 and I'm going to blog about it....the simple way.

Wish me luck!

Giving Feels Good!

I just gave away 2 old TV's and a gaming system to our local homeless shelter and I can't tell you how good it feels.

I have been talking to people recently about the frustration they have encountered in trying to give away old electronic like tv's etc because apparently no one wants them and no one will take them. I couldn't believe the stupidity of those statements and thought "seriously...if you have nothing isn't something better than nothing?!"

So one phone call to our local shelter and bang....they are coming to pick them up on Tuesday. The funny part is that I was thanking them so much for taking them AND coming to get them that the man at the shelter started to laugh and said "Lady, stop thanking ME...YOU are giving the stuff to US!"

I guess that is what a real win/win feels like.
