This is a daily read book I have been trying very hard to read each day. I have never made this goal happen. This book has been in my possession since I lived in LaCrosse, WI (which has been a few years ago since I once resided there). Once again I am making the attempt to read it each day. The book is layed out as a daily read, sort of like a devotional. I have sticky notes, and pen marks throughout the different pages. Yet, I have never been able to accomplish the one goal of reading this every day. Often life gets crazy, I forget, or I have ended up moving. This time I am trying to make it through. Where I have not been consistent throughout this year, I have done better this year than I have in the past.
Along with the title of "Simple Abundance", I am trying to seek that in my life. I want to be free of the clutter which has slowly built up. I desire to be able to see the seats in my truck again. Throw away things I don't need and organize the things I do. I am hoping IF I can get that far to accomplish that particular goal, then I can begin on my storage unit. That itself will be a massive undertaking which I am not looking forward to doing. But, I know there are things out there that simply need to be sorted, dealt with organized, donated or thrown away.
I desire simplicity. I long for my phone to stop buzzing away at me. I am sick of the follow up of continuous e-mails, endless phone calls from people I don't want to talk to, and yes, even text messages (although, I prefer a text over a call any day). I don't have to rush to answer, I can think about what I am going to say, and respond in a fairly timely manner.
I long for quiet. I long for peace, calm, simplicity. It seems there is a lot of chaos and complication to sort through to arrive at simplicity, but maybe, just maybe it is possible?
