Live Simply

Today we cleaned out the garage. A monumental job to say the least. We took everything out, planned a new layout, executed the plan and brought everything back in. It took until noon to take it all out and then until 5 to get it figured all out where it will end up. It was an exhasting job. But so needed! We could barely walk in there anymore. We had several bins full for a garage sale but decided to donate it and reap the blessings than the financial returns. However small they may be. I have way too much stuff, and I will never purchase "stuff" again, don't we all say that? Being labor day weekend, we really felt it as laborious. I am royally pooped.

I think the cycle of life must contain a purge in it somewhere. Where we simply get rid of things that no longer have a purpose. Those are easy to get rid of. Then there are those things that you must say goodbye to that you still love but no longer have space or any reason to keep it. Sigh. So you must move on. In order to make room for new things and blessings in our lives you must live simply. Not easy at first but sooner of later you totally forgot you even had them.
