Hiking and stuff (literally)

[stef_tm]

Sunday: Rancho San Antonio. 4.5 mi, elevation gain equivalent to 59 flights of stairs.
Today: Niscene Marks state park, 3 mi, elevation gain equivalent to 47 flights of stairs.

Hamstrings are a bit tight.

For a fun fall project, I have decided to do Project 333 - 33 items of clothing for any 3 month interval. Here is a link: http://theproject333.com/getting-started/

I fear I may be below this number already, but this will help continue the minimalism. Will be donating the last of my books next week.

While the clothes concept doesn't work for me (I already have a bare wardrobe- two jeans, one slacks, two 'summer' weight shirts and two 'winter' weight ones... I've got to find ways to RAISE that, not limit it more. ugh.) I very much appreciate the ideas of 'living with less'.

I am learning over time, to slowly whittle my belongings to things I LOVE.

I don't mean I want to live with nothing, and I don't mean I want to throw away things with great value- I just mean that there's things I LOVE, and things that I just need to box up and store, or things I am crazy to be keeping in storage because really, I don't have any REAL attachment to them...

It's a really tough thing to learn!

I hear you. I probably am operating on 10 pieces of clothing and raising that would allow me to dress a bit more professionally at work.

Having few things allows me to have more "spoons" (if you are familiar with that model.) It's somehow quieting to my mind.

Oh yes. I have a small orange one which is awesome.
No idea why I didn't think of that last night - thank you!
