I am at the end of a very long work week. But in this economy, more than ever, I am thankful to have a job. I could complain about many aspects of it, but that would just be ingrateful. So, today, I am thankful. Thankful for every moment of my job.
I'm also thankful for the energy I have to pursue my dreams. Life is hectic, life is crazy and stressful. Yet, I am moving forward. I am glad that I have the ability to do that.
The things I'm not so thankful for? Well, they are being dealt with, and being packed up to move out of my life. I've said before that I have a move coming up in a couple months. I have been packing stuff for awhile now, but mostly I have been boxing stuff up to donate. I am working on simplifying. Simplifying my decor, my wardrobe, my collections. Simplifying my life.
Christmas seems to be an odd time to be thinking about simplifying... with all the gifts under the tree. But, I have been very specific in my requests and each thing I asked for has a specific place and purpose in my new life. I tried to be very mindful of 'necessity' when gifting to others as well. I think I will have a grand plan for it all by next Christmas.
How is your world?

I think Christmas is a great time to be thinking about simplifying! After all, Christmas started out simple, and it has been blown up by all of the materialistic things. It might benefit us all to step back and take a 'simpler' look at Christmas, and our lives.
*hugs*
Christmas is the perfect time to simplify! Like what Theresa said, it started out very simple, then the worldly culture blew it up to make some money. We've been going through our belognings and only keeping the necessary things as well.
