Celebrating a Year of Abundance
Published by Beth on Friday, December 22, 2006 at 8:26 AM
I can't believe the new year is almost upon us! I don't usually think about New Year's until Christmas is over, but for the past few days I've been thinking about what I can improve upon in this next year. I'm tired of my desire for possessions and thirst for material things. (Christmas, unfortunately, tends to bring this out in me!) I want to cut back on my spending, live simply, and give away what I can to others who need it more than I do.
When I happened upon Sallie's post over at A Gracious Home about
celebrating a year of abundance, it struck such a chord with me that I knew that this was something I could do. I plan on working out specifics once I discuss this more thoroughly with my hubby. Maybe I can get it laid out before the New Year.
If anyone is interested, check out this post and this post (scroll down to the post on Dec. 19) for more information.
I love Sallie's blog but haven't been able to load it for several weeks now. Have you had any trouble opening it?
I think Sallie has had a great idea. We do have so much 'stuff' but actually use so little of it because we can't to other stuff for other stuff! Flylady has definitely started me on the right track about getting rid of clutter but there is still plenty work I need to do.
Look forward to reading more!
Keziah - welcome! I would like to get back on track with FlyLady. I made the mistake of starting right before I moved so I hadn't even gotten into a routine before everything was messed up. :-) Now, I have to start all over with the shiny sink! New Year's resolutions...
