Being content

In this time that I have had in Nashville on thing I have learned and most definitely am still learning is to be content with my belongings; clothing, personal items, etc. Not only have I been sort of forced into be content but learning to be content while having to be content. Like I said-- I am definitely still learning. That's not an easy process for a girl who likes to shop.

What is my plan? I have already started with just getting rid of my "stuff" I don't use. That was harder than I thought it was going to be. I've sold about 13 items so far. I guess just getting rid of it was hard because the items were worth more than I was selling them for. I would have second thoughts about maybe I would use them in the near further. But I stuck with the plan and sold the items. Very therapeutic!

I'm also toying around with the idea of taking a sabbatical from purchasing clothes over $5 unitl Feb 1st. One of our fellow small group attendees is doing this for an entire year. I was inspired by her. This would really help a person utilize the items they have and start being content with what they got. Not to mention-- SAVE MONEY! We will see. I think (I know) I can get creative with this goal. I'm gonna do it. WEW!

WISH ME LUCK
