It has been very cold but this weekend is finally looking like spring. I am so glad. I spent a lot of yesterday outside, and will again today. My first run around the yard and garden is now done and I need to start over again. I made a tough decision yesterday to let the pea patch go. I was having a hard time keeping up with it and it showed. It’s time to let others have a turn.
That said, I will miss it. I’ve been part of this pea patch since it was created. I helped create it with my labor, clearing the lots and filling the raised beds. I got to know my neighbors there and will miss seeing them there on a summer’s evening when we all go down to water and relax.
This does simplify my life a lot, and that is important to me as well. I’ve done a couple of other small things to simplify my life as well. I decided not to volunteer for a couple of events I usually do, because it cut into my free days too much, leaving me tired and unenthusiastic for the rest of my week. I will most likely work on these events again in the future, just not now.
I made the decision to only buy black shoes. the vast majority of my wardrobe goes with black just fine and this does simplify my needs. In the past I would get both black and brown and sometimes other colors as well, but what I wear 4 out of 5 days are black shoes. This will save a few dollars as well, an added bonus.
So while I’ve not written much, I’ve still been thinking and working to find a sustainable life. How are you doing?
