As the seasons change once again there is change in life as well. Here in New Jersey we have just moved to a new house. A goal we started working on last November. It is quite an accomplishment. We had been trying to buy our new house (actually very old, built in 1800's), since November and we finally pulled the deal together. As we packed and moved last weekend it has given me time to reflect on life. One thing that came jumping out was living simply. We know that our life is not simple, yet compared to many it is quite simple. Yet, in packing there was and is too much stuff. Piles upon piles of things. Overwhelming really. As we loaded the truck again and again I really connected with how much we had accumulated. Amazing really. I biked cross country 12 years ago and all of my things fit in one small room. Not anymore. If you think you are living simply I suggest moving just to check it out.
But as we moved we work to simplify, reduce and make sure that we need all that we have.
