Default Re: Unexpected benefits of simplifying

I have learned many traits (patience, no worrying, relaxing, spending on myself) from my husband and have incorporated them into my every day schedule now. He's retired as of June 1, 2006 and I am medically retired with M.S.

I worry less about things, people, places, etc. I don't allow people to rent space in my head as I don't have time for that. I am much kinder now cause I have only a handfull of bills that I can count on one hand. I listen to music and have ordered DVDs of music concerts that I wasn't able to attend and I do watch them now instead of trying to do housework all the time. I am a neat freak but had to learn that I couldn't do it all when I became ill. That almost killed me because I was used to doing everything the way I wanted it done.

An added pleasure is having hubby home now as we are really good friends and we both have our own computers!!! More time to e-mail each other with our thoughts too. Life is good!
