I gave up my Blackberry a few weeks ago. I thought it would be hard to do. But I do not miss it.
We gave up our home phone a year ago. Life is quieter in the evenings.
We cancelled our newspaper subscription 6 months ago. I find that I don’t know when the stores are having sales and I don’t miss that either.
It is amazing how cluttered out lives had become and how easy it has been to let go. I wonder what else I can release?

How did my life get so plugged up? I have my laptop which has a great battery but it needs to be recharged daily. Then there is my cell phone and my Blackberry – two more plugs that cannot be ignored.
I am on a mission to simplify this year. I can now walk to week at least two and probably three days a week. I am turning in the Blackberry and sticking with my simple little cell phone (at least until I qualify for a discounted I-phone) so that will eliminate one plug.
Reading books like In Defense of Food and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle have really made me think, not just about the food I eat but the way I care for the environment. I will be on the lookout for other ways to unplug and simplify as I move full swing into the new school year.
