Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have.
--anon.
I went to the bookstore to look at the homemaking books and to size up the literary competition. I didn't find any homemaking books at all in the section, but rather, found books devoted to the organization or getting rid of, clutter. It seems that we Americans are unhappy not because we are poor and wanting, but because we have too much stuff. We have to go buy books on how to not have so many material things. There is a science to managing the obnoxious wealth that we have in our country. Too much stuff...I am certain that there are millions of people in the world who wish they too had too much food, too many clothes, too much medicine, etc.
Simplify what you do have and do not replace all that junk. Then work on wanting what you have. Clean and organize what you do have and you will love it more, I promise.
