Seeking Simplicity

For a long time I've wanted to live a much simpler life, but lately I've felt like life is controlling me instead of me taking control of my life. It's time for a change. My husband and I believe in living a simple life that's in touch with nature. If you've read my BIO, then you know that I'm currently in the military and will be retiring in the next few years. My husband is a stay at home dad and I do NOT want to work for anyone else once I retire. So, we'll have to down scale our life considerably to stretch our money. This is only part of the reason why we are adopting a simple life. We've also come to understand that much of the stuff we collect over our lives is really just an attempt to fill an emptiness within us. That stuff then eats up our time, resources and energy requiring us to manage, clean, maintain and care for it. Finally, my time and freedom is very important to me. I'm very confident that I could find well paying employment for my second career but money is less important than the opportunity to live life on my own terms. This blog is about our journey to simplicity. Please feel free to stop by and visit as often as you like.
