why I have not updated anything. My spring obsession of home and dreaming up new ways of living. All this thinking about living "greener", more efficiently- and who isn't right now- has us feeling like our small home is too big. Actually its the perfect size at just under 1800 sf, there are no rooms that go unused and everyone has there own space with a nice open common area. But we are wondering how much space we can let go of and still feel satisfied. And maybe even more satisfied with less to maintain. The books all say is you done love it or use it, it should go. Quality over quantity with books, clothes, even food! Make way for new interests, new inspiration, new open space. Letting go of the objects associated with the past- unless the memories attached to it are really good ones- allows us to be more present. I have already found that as I rid my home of unloved objects I am enjoying the loved ones more.
