It took me a very long time to discover that no other person or no amount of stuff could make me happy. That had to come from within me. And it seems to be working. Some time back, while talking to my brother on the phone, he remarked that I sounded happier and more content than I ever had before. He is right. I grouse about arthritis pain or some other small thing, but that is just minor. America waking up? I think many need to get their priorities straight before that can happen. Get back to core values.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-52829268807727674392014-05-18T11:54:04.686-05:002014-05-18T11:54:04.686-05:00Vicki, i never had a sister, but we seem to be cut...Vicki, i never had a sister, but we seem to be cut from the same cloth. We live in a mobile home less then 1000 sq ft. We are happy. Last year we lived in a 3 br town house and it was hell. We could use more storage but hey a small issue. i always wanted a house, but its never been in the cards for us. Most of America still needs to wake up like many of us bloggers have done.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-18022499821192014922014-05-17T23:24:58.266-05:002014-05-17T23:24:58.266-05:00Like you, I find that the more simple the lifestyl...Like you, I find that the more simple the lifestyle, the better. Stuff just gives me more that has to be dealt with, and as you say, that can cut into nap time, which is an important part of my day!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-74125503959779629082014-05-17T23:03:42.307-05:002014-05-17T23:03:42.307-05:00Thank you for the kind words.

I'm guessing it's due to the realization you can't bring any of it with you, when you go, and the mess I leave will be easier to dispose of if there's less to clean up. That, and the fact less clutter leaves more time for naps.

It took a long time to realize that I was making my own self miserable. You are right. When we realize just how well blessed we are, that's when peace takes over and life becomes good, no matter where we are.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-343868321861312892014-05-17T21:15:45.754-05:002014-05-17T21:15:45.754-05:00It takes some of us a while, doesn't it.

I had always taken what I had forgranted, until I started working with people who had NOTHING.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
