The more I read (I think I've worn down your older posts link :P) the more I want to know. I too have been more aware of my surroundings recently, and how much effort people put into judging others, and taking life so seriously, rather than just enjoying who they are, what they have, and other's feelings. I've spent more time outdoors, and doing things I enjoy instead of putting it off and sitting on the sofa or at the office wishing for Friday evening. <br /><br />All it took was accomplishing a project completely, a project that helps us enjoy the outdoors: our new deck. Single-handedly the best lifestyle change our savings could buy. Rather than a vacation this year, we're putting our time and money into working together to update our kitchen to make it more functional for us to spend time in together, and our now finished deck to sit out and enjoy nature from a perch up high. We just sip coffee, read the paper, and listen to the birds. I never cared for doing any of those things until we finished that deck.<br /><br />And your tent in the living room post makes me want to staple sheets to the ceiling in my attic and drape them like a tent. One thing I had as a kid that I cherished was a tent I had in my bedroom at my dad's. My attic is my little getaway, so why not make it into a huge tent? Thank you for all the inspiration. I can't wait to read more!Samanthahttp://iheartminiblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198241070777118586.post-36686237014614344702010-02-04T11:13:01.923-08:002010-02-04T11:13:01.923-08:00I am with you.
