I am looking back at the past two weeks and asking myself:  What changes have you  made?  Whose life have you touched?  Are you doing what you set out to do?

None.  No one.  No. 

30 days to a more simple life.  Ok.  Simple.

I'm saving money.  I started a house savings account.  I have a change jar that has 23+ dollars worth of change in it.  I've started baking more.  Stockpiling.  Cooking and freezing.   I'm getting a lot of great free samples.  I am couponing and rebating to the point where I have lots of free or close-to-free cleaning, bath, and paper products.

This is all good stuff, really.  I mean, isn't it?

So these next two weeks, as I may have mentioned in an earlier post, are being dedicated to the inward journey of simplicity.  There, I've said it.  I'm committed to it.  You are my witnesses!

I believe in my last post I wrote that I am going to start gift baskets for the needy, or to be used in my church.  I am also going to be joining in with my church's Operation_Christmas_Child.  Check it out -- it's wonderful.  I will also be on the lookout for other ways to be more charitable.

I read the first day of the 2nd_week_of_from_chaos_to_calm.  This week is about being a Godly wife.  The first day's article was tough to read, but I am going to try! 

I need to get more involved in church.  With the people in church.  Be more a part of that community.  I will be working more on that in the next two weeks as well.

So those are my plans.  Looking inward.  Trying my best to be more positive. 

Wish me luck!

Consider yourself wished! These things take time, in baby steps. I think you are headed in the right direction to achieve your goals. Let what you HAVE done encourage you toward doing the other things you want to do. Have a good week!

It's me again. I just read your Oct. 1 post and I wanted you to know I'll pray for you about the tax money issue. Take care.
