Simplicity Sunday

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
--Hans Hofmann

What can you eliminate today so that the necessary can speak? Clutter on your counters? At your front door? On your desk? In your closet?

Living simply means getting rid of all the "stuff" that clutters up our lives. There is no reason to hang onto something that you don't love or use. Be free of it.

I am freeing myself of a lot of papers today and filing them in a file folder. Things kind of piled up around Christmas. When things are organized people are less stressed. You are no longer wasting time searching for things all the time, you know where it is and don't have to dig for it. There is a lot of paper associated with a big family...documents, schoolwork, forms, etc. Make a folder for each child that contains all their documents (birth cert., social security card, vaccination records, etc) and never search again.
