\u2026 simplicity and clarity that is. I don\u2019t want more STUFF.<\/p>\n

Today we celebrate Simplicity Day and the birthday of
\nHenry David Thoreau (1817-1862)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u00a0who advised us to:<\/p>\n
\u201cGo confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I don\u2019t want complicated STUFF in my life, in my relationships, or even in the technology that I use (and I\u00a0\u2665 <\/span>technology). If it\u2019s not straightforward and clear I don\u2019t want it. I hope that I am.

\nThere is one thing that’s definitely clear. Moving can really bring into focus how much stuff<\/em> we accumulate in our lives. It\u2019s hard for me to wrap my brain around how much stuff<\/em> I have gained in just 6 months, notwithstanding the years and years of stuff<\/em> I have acquired. I have moved so many times that I can\u2019t even count them on my fingers OR my toes. I\u2019ve moved within the same city, to a different city, to a different state and back again\u2026 full circle. I always say \u201cchange is good, even if it\u2019s a nickel\u201d and I enjoy the excitement of starting something fresh and new each time, but this moving thing (packing, unpacking, repacking all this stuff and living out of suitcases and boxes) is for the birds! It\u2019s just TOO MUCH STUFF!! It\u2019s time downsize and apply the K.I.S.S.<\/span> and make it a better <\/em>rule (Keep it Simple Simon)<\/span> to every aspect of my life.<\/p>\n
Where to start? I\u2019ve only got 2 things on my list.\u00a0(1) Identify what\u2019s most important to me; and (2) Eliminate everything else. It ain’t gonna be\u00a0easy,\u00a0but I am working towards getting rid of that clutter that\u2019s blinding my way\u2026 getting in the way of me living my imagined life.<\/p>\n
Today I will spend my time doing the things I love, and being with the people I love, (both near and far), Always with Love.<\/p>\n
And in the words of Henry David Thoreau\u2026 \u201cSimplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.\u201d
