Why is is so hard to live simply? I crave it so bad, yet I find myself being forced into a way of life filled… no, overflowing with unnecessary stuff. I want to work toward a lifestyle of stewardship, conservation and selflessness. I’m trying. Here are some things that I feel are important to make habit in my life.

Have friends over to our house more often. BBQ outside on the deck. Grow our own vegetables. Build our own compost with organic stuff that would normally go the dump. Buy smart. Know where things come from. Sell the car and take public transportation. Walk at lunch time for exercise. Get back into yoga a couple of times a week. Drink more water. Spend more time reading and painting. Take steps toward showing my art. Brainstorm with Stevie on how to become self-sufficient in employment and at home. Volunteer at a museum in the city.
