You're blog is amazing and you have a gift for writing my friend.<br />I'm currently making changes in my life as well, including my silly blog, so reading through your blog entries gave me even more deliberation and joy.

I think last year was the beginning of living my life deliberately...and it feels great.<br /><br />Just a few minutes ago I picked up my well-worn copy of Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance -- always worth another read, rich with ideas and inspiration.<br /><br />One thought she expressed was that we are each the "curator of our own contentment." I liked that thought. Thought you might too.<br /><br />Thanks for always adding a little more joy to my day...<br /><br />KrisKris Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541755879172673724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-85610501325000326482010-01-02T17:09:12.307-05:002010-01-02T17:09:12.307-05:00Beautiful Jen.

I too am generally a very optimistic person, but the past two years have been all about life "happening to me" and me too overwhelmed to do much about it. I'm feeling very good about this new year. Problems have passed, attitudes have changed, and I'm ready to get proactive and be in charge again. I wish good luck to both of us!!

Been simplifying for years now, doing pretty good, taking it to a 'ho notha level' this year. As you know I'll only leave the house once a week unless a dire emergency arises. It's quieted me down so much. I'm choosing to live consciously. To consume less, and give more. To paraphrase something I read in Walden...I want to live in the precipice of the past, and the future, and that is in the present. I'm choosing to stop worrying about things that never happen anyway. I wish you peace, joy and a sense of wonder as you journey on your new path Jen!Jayme Goffin, The Coop Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760868033826492236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-38586314891287155232010-01-02T11:41:17.945-05:002010-01-02T11:41:17.945-05:00I particularly like your comment about joy.
