Stop buying unnecessary things.
Toss half your stuff, learn contentedness.
Reduce half again. List 4 essential things in your life,
stop doing non-essential things.
Do these essentials first each day, clear distractions
focus on each moment. Let go of attachment to doing, having more.
Fall in love with less.

Got some great treasures at the estate sale: a little copper mold, vintage casserole dish, soup tureen, chrome ice bucket, brooches, a ring

I burned the roof of my mouth with a spoonful of hot mozzarella.

Made a late lunch/early dinner using up the fridge contents: fresh whole wheat pasta w/ onions, bacon, can of tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella

And VERY excited about my vintage globe
