2010

sim·pli·fy

sim·pli·fy: make simpler or easier or reduce in complexity or extent.

as i thought about the new year, i thought of 100 different things i wanted to do. even more that i wanted to change. the more i thought the more i came up with. i was feeling completely overwhelmed and discouraged before the year had even begun.

i realized, as usual, that i was making everything too complicated. i realized with my life and my schedule, i had a strong need for things to be easier. simpler.

we agreed as a family and celebrated the new year with that one goal in mind.

simply to simplify.

I'm with heather, lets see more of the house, i still haven't seen the library. start there. hy, you could do a room a day and that would last you like 2 weeks worth of posting! I am a genius.
