Voluntary Simplicity -

It's Saturday. Today my DH and I are going to tackle the bedroom closet. I started my side this week and got brutal about what to keep and what to give away. It was liberating! Seeing all those clothes that I wanted to keep just in case I dropped 10 lbs and could wear them again go to Goodwill was like a sigh of relief. Every time I looked in my closet those items would jump out at me and remind me of past failures. Life is too short to walk through it feeling like you've failed!!!

I'm flippin' that script! Instead I can say that I win! I win because I gave someone some new clothes, a job and a chance to feel good. I win because I just let go of the negative feelings. I win because my journey to simplicity just took a giant step forward!

Matt 10:9,10 -Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.
