It's not about what you have or don't have, it's just about how you use and enjoy them. Chris: No kidding! Couldn't have said it better myself, Chris. Louise: You rock! It's so awesome to hear that an urge for simplicity came from such a deep, honest spot. For so many of us, it's just about clutter, so it's inspiring to be reminded that simplicity is about so much more. Evelyn: I like your thoughts here.

For me simple living came about in a different way. After facing my own mortality by having and beating cancer, I realized what was truly important to me. I now crave simplicity and seek it out in every corner of my world. I'm now making decisions based on what is important to me and to me alone. Now when I buy something or do something it's because I want it - not because I want to keep up with the Joneses or because today's advertising tells me I need it. Living simply has also given me a pleasure I never would have imagined - I love being alone! I've cut out all the 'noise' of ailing relationships and have found out that I enjoy spending time with myself and exploring who I am. And as Vered put so well, in simplicity I've found countless pleasures - just different than before. I'm happier than I've ever been in my 43 years! Rock on everybody! Hiya everyone!
