TEN REASONS TO LIVE SIMPLY

By sandy -

As I have pursued a simpler lifestyle in my own life and have been studying at length new ideas and ways to do that, I really wanted to share all that I have learned and experienced in the last several years. ( Yikes! I hope it hasn't been years since I began this blog! )But it all goes along with living a well ordered and balanced life.

So on with Ten Reasons To Live Simply:
YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING...

1) Increased Serenity
2)  A Calmer Home Atmosphere
3) More  Joy
4) More  Peace
5)  Increased Creativity
6)  Better Relationships
7)  More Time for Relaxation
8)  More Time for the Important Things
9) Less Stress
10) Better Able to Live In the Moment

Each ONE is reason enough to want to live a simpler lifestyle! But ALL TEN?!? Who wouldn't want to have these in their lives? And it IS possible... if you set "living simply" as a goal in your life!

It is really kind of magical! And while it ALL doesn't happen all at once, even taking some small steps in that direction, can begin to make a difference in your life. And then it becomes a lifestyle and journey where the gifts mentioned above appear more and more as a part of your life.

I want to help you begin this journey towards living a simpler lifestyle in order to enjoy more of these gifts in your life. I hope you'll join me!

10 BENEFITS OF ORGANIZING

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.  A.A. Milne Flowers from Pinterest   There are a lot of organizing blogs and web sites out there but I decided to start this one to help me get MYSELF back on the organizing track as well as share some things that have helped me be more organized over the years. I've kind of yo-yo'd back and forth like a diet with being organized. I was the MOST organized when my kids were growing up because I felt I HAD to be to maintain my sanity with all the busyness of an active household!  But if I go back even further I was a very orderly little girl. My room was ALWAYS neat and organized. I made my bed before I  even got out of it! I had a happy, secure childhood and I think that my desire to keep things in my personal little world happy and ordered reflected that.  My disorganized years were:  when the kids had moved out and I was working full time ( more about THAT crazy lifestyl

PLANNING FOR SUMMER FUN

Granddaughters arriving for Gramma Camp. Teaching grandson to play golf. Just as important as organizing the spaces of your home, is planning fun events in your life. This IS, afterall, a blog about "A Well Ordered LIFE" which includes ordering and planning the FUN!  I find that if I don't plan things, they won't "just happen". For example, at the end of one summer I found myself thinking, " We never went on an old fashioned picnic!" The grandkids were busy with Mission Trips, Vacation Bible School, camping out, swimming lessons etc. The guys golfed on their days off, vacations were taken, and EVERY YEAR I think about going on a simple  picnic, but one year didn't actually PLAN one! What's a summer without an old fashioned family picnic? Oh sure, we had LOTS of family gatherings where we grilled out and ate together. But a picnic where we'd go to a favorite spot... to eat outside... on a picnic table...we did not do. I simply fo

FIRST STEPS TO DE-CLUTTERING

"Your home is a garbage processing center where new things are purchased and slowly demoted through various stages of 'trashification' until you're done."     Jerry Seinfeld Doesn't this "feel" great?                                                                                                         I had to laugh at Jerry Seinfeld's description of what happens to our "stuff". But when I thought about it,  that's kind of what happens to things in OUR home.  After  a while things get "old" and they move into the "trash" category. So we have a garage sale...  to get rid of the stuff that has gone through the end stage of "trashification". Then after we get rid of our "trash", we go to someone else's garage sale and buy their ...ah, treasures. Oh, did I say that out loud? That's not supposed to be a part of this de-cluttering work. Well, don't forget, one man's trash
