Great minds think alike. ;)<br /><br />Thanks guys, for all the kind comments. I think we all tend to end up in the same boat -- wanting to simplify but struggling against ourselves and the world when we try to make those changes!Kellylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356654981279123538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749541.post-30478668899763139602011-07-26T20:54:30.192-05:002011-07-26T20:54:30.192-05:00Good luck with managing the rat race.

It's such a thoughtful piece, and best wishes to you in your quest. My children are grown, I'm only working part-time, but still my life is so busy. You've given me some things to ponder.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749541.post-6193226054419843712011-07-26T16:51:44.924-05:002011-07-26T16:51:44.924-05:00More is not better.

My husband and I quit committees, the kids could only choose one activity per season, and we started saying no to some social events. I look back and am very grateful we figured it out and had so many wonderful meals around the dining room table...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749541.post-9765519550687305492011-07-26T12:40:47.384-05:002011-07-26T12:40:47.384-05:00Your post made me think of the book So Few of Me b...Your post made me think of the book So Few of Me by Peter Reynolds.

As I read this, I had a great thought - for me, at least, slicing on Tuesdays and taking time to read and comment on other slices is a wonderful way to recharge myself.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022611578701579149noreply@blogger.com
