I’ve spent the day today watching the water rise in the field across the street from my house. They’ve already called and told us to evacuate, so we’ve made plans to do just that. Hopefully it won’t get that bad, but the forecast calls for it to get in my house about three foot or so. I lived through the…

How do you feel about hypocrisy?
All of us have met that person. The person who claims that “sex outside of marriage is bad” but brags about one-night stands or is constantly in and out of relationships. The one who tells others not to judge even as they are judging others. Or the one who tells you to throw all of your stuff away just to…

Notes to your Future Self
Katie and I started a little tradition when we defrosted our refrigerator for the first time several years ago. We didn’t know how long it had been since we had defrosted it so sensing an opportunity we each wrote little notes to our future selves (Katie even left herself a gift) and stuck them in the back of the freezer…

Maintaining Balance
Back to school season is always a bit hectic around here. A local church hosts a free yard sale that is packed with donations and yard sale discards that would normally end up in the trash while the local clothing closet has a yard sale where you can purchase bags filled with the clothing of your choice for a dollar…

Blogging
Sometimes the Law of Attraction is about following hunches. I’m following another one. I started another blog about simplifying my lifestyle.

Not only that, but by organizing and simplifying I will be happier as well,…

They go to church and all the other churchgoers think they are such good religious folk… I know a lot of people like that. The druggies who can’t live without…

I Hate the Housing Projects
Some people must truly be miserable. Truly miserable. Those people are the ones who cannot be happy for a person’s accomplishments, but have to find fifty reasons why they made the wrong decision. I detest people like that. I know some. Couple of them actually. Okay, I am not rich. After an illness forced me into the projects about 4…

The Small House Book Has Arrived!
Finally, the day I have been waiting for: Jay Shafer’s Small House Book arrived in my mailbox! I must say, Jay likes his books as small and high-quality as he does his houses! In the book he gives basic building plans plus a treatise on small house living. I will describe more when I finish the book. As I was reading the…

Pleasure of a Job Well Done
The lawn is mowed, my neighbors have said hello, so now I can sit and relax a touch before my daughter arrives home from school. It feels quite warm outside, but the thermostat says that it is only 66 degrees. I am just glad I have one more chore out of the way for the day. It feels so good…
