My first Blog Post

Why do we love to be busy? I know that we all say (myself included) that we hate that we are always so busy, but we really don't mean that. Somewhere deep down we feel guilty or unimportant if we aren't running 5 directions at once.

Simplicity. I think if we could find out what it means to live a simple life and if we could clear out all the clutter, we would be much happier and healthier. I know I would. For me, and I suspect most of us, this wouldn't mean getting rid of the bad stuff that takes our time. Rather, its deciding which of the good things that I'm doing do I need to give up.

I think my "resulution" for next year will be to do my best to simplify. What things do I need to give up or exchange? How do I say, "No" to the good things so that I can say, "Yes" to the great things?
