The Speed of Life

It seems the speed of life has increased. How I look forward to and savor days spent at home with no trips out. They seem to be far and few in between. How does one stop the rat race and slow down once it is in motion? My house suffers. My peace of mind suffers.

I've bee listening to my computer read to me "The Joy of Simple Living". It is inspiring me to continue to work at weeding things out, paring down, and simplifying my life. I see other's homes that are very simple. Only the necessary possessions are out. Everything looks clean and uncluttered. I long to have my home look like this.
