Simple Frugality

making your home work

things I do have instead

· doing

After I wrote my last post, things I don’t have that many do, someone asked, “What do you have that most people don’t?”

It was a good question. I cut out a lot of what I found to be unnecessary (for me) to make room for what I find to be more important.

So what do I have instead? Honestly, what I have isn’t that uncommon, but here goes:

leisure time
space in my home
time to read, meditate, exercise
time to write every day
time for my beautiful family
time for close friends
time to walk places (instead of drive)
freedom from car maintenance, car breakdowns, traffic
time to cook simple, healthy meals
the luxury of not worrying what time it is most of the time
disconnectedness when I’m away from home
fewer distractions even when I’m connected
my health
less worry
a very light packing list
worry-free finances
a business I’m proud of
