When winter comes I'm always ready for it...but when it goes I don't miss it one little bit.
I'm feeling a little like those busy bustling robins outside my window lately. So many projects and preparations and planning going on here...good stuff but I still need to be careful about my weakness for over-committing.
Anyway, in the attempt to simplify and lead a less stressed life, here are my spring resolutions:
{1) I will not freak if our grass gets a little too long--instead I'll be glad I have grass. I've never liked the manicured look anyway (and it's certainly a good thing if you know what i'm saying)
{2} I will give up pretending that my windows will ever all be clean at the same time. Good grief I hate cleaning windows.
{3} I will get rid of any clothes, shoes, etc., that I haven't worn in a year and I will not buy new ones to replace them.
{4} I won't be burdened with guilt when I opt to serve Stouffer's frozen mac-n-cheese to my family instead of fixing from scratch (this one won't be very hard for me)
{5} and last but not least, I will be very, very selective about the items I purchase and bring into my home...especially little, inexpensive things [i don't usually shop at Walmart, but now Target...you got me there], and I will realize that for the most part they're usually just things that are going to consume more of my precious time and space [any amens on that?]
I'd love to hear your ideas and strategies for simplifying and pulling back from the frenzy--let's share and learn from each other.
Blessings to each of you!
