Simplification of life

I really don’t know where to start.  Life gets hectic.  Life gets complicated.  Life has layers.  Much like life relationships have a cycle.  Relationships are strained.  Relationships end.  I find myself caught up in the mire of life - I should be going out, I should be doing this, I should be....

It gets real hard, real fast.

So I started slowly.

I started scheduling times to go to Mass and Penance Services to get my spiritual house in order.  

Baby steps.

I scoured my basement and threw out every piece of clothing or pair of shoes I have not worn in three years.  Then I started in on crap that I have not used in at least three to four years.  The rest went to the trash or Goodwill.

Getting there.

I created a zone for the Ladybug and Stinkbug to play and a chair for me to sit with my book and an iced tea and rest.  I plan on making this zone pretty this year with a fresh coat of paint, some bookshelves, a desk, a tv stand, a tv and a dvd player for the kids.
Seeing progress.

It is going to take a lifetime to get a simplified version of me and that’s okay but I’m getting there.  I’m working to make me better, like me, love myself so I can be a good mom and wife.
