It has probably been too long since I have blogged and I am not sure if anyone will even read this. I have several drafts of saved blogs I have started, but not finished over the last little while. A lot has been going on inside my head, and I haven’t been sure how to get it out.

Back in October a friend of mine, Millie Holloman had a list of books on her blog. One of them was Simplify your Time. In November, I bought several books by this author because I felt my life could use some simplifying.

I began decluttering closets, papers, and unused items. I cleaned out my garage, my closet, my childrens’ closets, hall closet, and junk drawer. I am not finished with  my house, but I have made a significant dent in the clutter.

My schedule is an area that needs some help and I working on it. It is hard balancing work and home, and  sometimes it gets overwhelming. It was nice to be home over the holidays and not juggle anything. I didn’t have to keep all the balls in the air or worry where they landed if I dropped them.

Who knew simplying your life could be so much work? It takes planning, discipline and strategizing to make it happen. I want to keep at it until my life is pretty simple.
