Simple Living

I enjoyed Rhonda's post today about simple living. She asked readers to share what they are doing in their lives. I left my list of what we have started to do in the last few weeks and I was surprised at how far we have come. Still nowhere near the other readers who commented but it is a start. Never in a million years did I think this is who I would become. I am happy about the change though! For me, the hardest part is making conscious choices because I seem to live more on automatic pilot. I need to slow down and really think about how I live. I know that my life will be better for it. During the last school holidays I had a week off with E and it was one of the best weeks of my life. We slowed right down and really enjoyed our time together. We cooked, read, crafted and pottered around the house. I rediscovered just how wonderful my girl is! I will be having a week off with her again during the next school holidays. And I am still researching homeschooling. I have pretty much decided to do it once we sort the business out and I am really looking forward to it - the next chapter of our lives!
