1-1-11

In 2011 I want to fill my days with positive thinking, good experiences, learning and accomplishments! I know that I can achieve this by simplifying and focusing on what matters most to me.
Search for simple is gonna be my blog where I will share my personal search for making life more simple and gratifying. Having a blog isn't necessarily a simple task to keep up, but I feel that by keeping one up to date that I will be able to better keep my eyes peeled for the positive things in life and those things I love.

Things that I love and wish to get better at are gardening, cooking/baking, decorating, and making things from the stuff I have on hand. Those things I wish to weed out of my life include my personal time wasters and the fact that my mind always seems to be distracted with an endless to-do list. I feel like I live those precious moments with my family but I fail to really take them in and appreciate all that I have. So this is my attempt to clear out the clutter and focus on the good stuff!
I started reading "The Joy of Simple Living" at first as a way to find short cuts to make our budget last longer, but it has a bunch of useful information for all of the different areas of my life. I'll be sure to share what has inspired me in one way or another.
p.s. this is an amazon pic you cant really click to look inside from here but you can on amazon if you wish.
