                                            Living Simply is enjoying a beautiful sunset!

To begin creating your Simple Lifestyle, think about the following thoughts about what Living Simply means to you.

Begin by asking yourself, "What is simple living to me?" Listed below are a few ways to think about Living Simply:

Living Simply is...

...Creating a life that embraces the essentials

...Focusing on life's priorities

...Eliminating life's non-essentials

...Creating a life where there's room to breathe

...Doing "one thing" and doing it well

...Living Wisely

...Finding JOY in the common every  day activities of every day living

...Creating space for divine interventions

...Living in the moment

...Having an uncluttered mind

...Finding joy in simple pleasures

...A gift you give yourself---mind, body, and spirit

...Creating a home filled with simple beauty

 Do any of these thoughts ring true to you? Any that you'd like to create in your life? You can have all of the above if you act intentionally to create Simplicity in your life. This blog will show you how to have these treasures in your life and find them in simple ways.

I realize that busy people can seem overwhelmed with change because it might seem like added work to your already busy schedule. But stay tuned to this blog and I'll show you it can be done and just how to do it.

I'd love to hear your feedback on some things you'd like to create in your life to achieve this Life Of Simplicity. What are your needs? What are your questions? I'll attempt to answer them in following blog posts.

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 g...

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.

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...
