Well...it's been almost four months since my initial writing. I officially suck at this! I could start rattling off excuses like my seven month old twins, my three year old, my thirteen year old, our rental house that we have been trying to prepare for the market, or my time consuming job....but I won't.
I give us a C- so far on our simpler living. We will do excellent one day and eat only those things straight from gods green earth, and the next day I am scarfing a McDonald's cheeseburger w/ a side of grease. Being a minimalist is complicated and time consuming. There are so many "convenient" chooses in today's world and eating simpler takes careful planning and consideration. The irony in all this is head spinning!
I hear these stories of Wall Street bankers who take their families out into the woods and live TV and caffeine free and my stomach churns. Oh how I wish I could follow suit. So many questions...what about school for my kids? How would we eat in the winter? How long does it take to make beer?
In the end, we have made positive strides towards our goal of living better and more responsibly. That's good enough for me for now. We will see where tomorrow brings us.......
