Living with less

I would love to live with less junk. Yes I said junk. I remember growing up and not having all that much. I had my family, had a roof over our head and we had pets and food and clothing but we didnt have a whole lot of things like video games and etc. I had some toys but not a whole lot as I enjoyed being outside (even on the coldest days of the year I was always outside) running and playing. Some days my brother and a friend of ours that lived closed by would be outside playing with me. We would play tag, basketball , kickball, softball, and cars and etc. ( Cant you tell I miss those days lol ) My sister hardly ever came out side but she did some days. Getting back on track here. I remember that we was happy. Yes we was probably like all other kids and wanting this or that but we was happy with what we had and learned a great value. That things are not what makes you happy. I have no idea when or where I lost that value but I did and I want to live with less again. As long as I have Mike, our pets, home, and food I will be okay (okay as long as I have my books and tv to lol dont think I could live without them lol ) but I can live without everything else. I wonder what I can start to get rid of. Well got to talk to Mike about all this also but I am sure he will be right there with me (okay I wont get rid of the video games because that is something Mike likes to do from time to time to destress or our computers but I am sure we can get rid of something lol ) I will keep you update on how learning to live with less goes. (We do have a good start though we are living in a smaller home then what we was. A 1100 square foot home to be exact and we love it. )
