I thought it might be nice to take a moment to note my success's and progress so far. Although I've not been able to do all I would have liked to - I'm still moving forward and that is worth a note.
First on the list as far as simplifing life goes - I've gotten rid of the TV. I haven't been connected to any channels for at least a year now and to be honest I haven't missed it even a little. I don't even watch my DVD movies all that much so it was just taking up space. If I want to watch something I do it on the computer. Frankly reading is more my thing and is more enjoyable and edifying then the mindless and often misguided nonsense that is on the TV these days. That's is my opinion and it has worked for me.
Secondly I've been making my own, shampoo, toothpaste and now laundry soap and am very happy with the results so far. The next project of making face and body lotion is well started in that I've printed several recipies and just need to gather the ingredients to start trying them out.
Another thing of note is my food preps - prepping is just trying to be prepared for future difficulties, anything from a power outage, job loss, or even a terror attack - I've been trying to get a few months of food on the shelves for just in case. Except for a few items this was going along very well. Unfortunately my money issues mean I'm tapping into this back stock. On the one hand this is good because I will be able to find any weakness's or flaws in my lists. On the other hand I'm concerned about replacing what I use. However, I have to say it is nice to know I've got food to eat even if it is a bit basic.
Finally - I'm starting to get as least some exercise - this can only be good and I'm hoping to continue to expand on it and really get on the road to being fit again.
I still have a lot to do and lots of things to accomplish. However the only way to move forward is One step at a time, even if it is only baby steps.
Life is always moving forward!
