Uncomplicated.

Periodically, I take my life inventory. And look at what needs to change. Some refer to it as "Getting your sh@t together"

For myself, it is usually simplifying.
For example: Drama addicts are long gone & extended periods of peace serenity are in.
The simpler life is, the happier I am.

Right now, I am simplifying my kitchen & then my closets. If I have not used it or wore it in a while, then I don't need it. If I am holding on it..it because I want to.. not need to ...& that is too complicated, so it has to go.

What changes would or should you make, so your life is easier, happier, uncomplicated?

Pretty much in the process of the house part and have been for a while. As I start re-doing each room I'm bringing it down to the minimum and getting ride of any excessive stuff no longer needed.. Making it more simple..

Will be having one good yard sale soon.. Just what I have taken out so far...

As far as Drama I eliminate those as I go....Keeps life stress free..:smile:

uncomplicated is a great slogan for my life

or at least I am in process of trying to get there happy

I realized right after I moved in to this new apt that I will be moving again in a year when they hike the rent up

sooo..with that in mind I have kept many things packed in boxes I do not use everyday.

I have a storage closet with all holiday stuff in it and I have just rearranged it so that the christmas stuff is towards front where I can get to it when I need to

I went thru my son's closet at beginning of school and bagged up anything that did not fit anymore and did same with my closet

I am seeing em drop like flies in my grad classes..they are burning out quick
many have no idea how to juggle school and family and work
so I am trying very hard to
Keep It Simple Stupid

only work enough to keep head above water and pay bills
make sure I am still available to do mom things like take my son to school
and pick him up and go to parent teacher conferences
not dating at all right now
keeping family drama at a distance
kinda like my own little cocoon happy

Well there are big changes in my life
Empty nest syndrome set in as the last wants to move out. It's hard when your baby wants to move. We have decided he's staying and renting the family home which will free me up to go where I can get a job.
So I have till January to sort out everything. Oh boy I have never gone boarding or flatting.

living and working in places that are very small it's an ongoing battle to fight the packrat syndrome. that effort seems to translate over into other parts of my life naturally. while i don't believe you can truly have a good relationship with out work, it shouldn't be hard work. so if it doesn't flow naturally then it typically has a major flaw you haven't seen yet.

My second x and i bought this place as bare ground almost 16 years ago...my daughter is now 19+ and my sons 16+ - so that should give you an idea of how much "stuff" hse accumulated over the years while developing this place. My daughter is in college and living with a guy and my sons prefer living at moms because it's in town. I have been thinking about calling one of those outfits that buys and sells estates and see if any of this crap is worth them taking off my hands!

My life is already happy, simple, and uncomplicated. There really is nothing I can think of that must be done to reduce my stress.
