THE ART OF LETTING GO: HOW TO SIMPLIFY AND DECLUTTER YOUR LIFE
THE ART OF LETTING GO
Over the course of our lives we accumulate so much in the way of clutter
- notably, our possessions, commitments and even our thoughts. So, in a
world where less is often considered more, it is a good idea to simplify
and declutter all aspects of it on a regular basis.
The best way to do this is to let go of everything that is holding you
back. If you don't, you can start to feel completely overwhelmed. But, if
you do, it can be quite a liberating and invigorating experience.
But how do we kickstart the process of letting go enough to actually be
able to simplify and declutter the complexities of our lives? And what
does that actually mean?
Today I have a collaborative post that puts the spotlight on the art of
letting go and how you can create the physical and mental space you need to
live your best life.

HOW TO FIND MORE JOY IN LIFE EACH AND EVERY DAY
HOW DO WE FIND JOY?
I wrote a series of posts several years ago on twelve areas to focus on for happiness. It was popular because a lot of us are looking for ways to be happy and to not end up as grumpy old people. What I've come to see over the ensuing years is that there isn't a switch we turn on to make ourselves happy, we can't force ourselves to be happy....but we do have control over our minds and our thoughts, and we can set them towards joy by choosing what we give our attention to.SHOULD YOU SELL YOUR CAR WHEN YOU RETIRE IN AUSTRALIA?

LOOKING BACK AT A WONDERFUL WINTER
LOOKING BACK AT THE WINTER THAT'S BEEN
Winter has been a lovely change from the hot, dry, extended Summer we experienced here in Western Australia. The cooler days and the rain have been really welcome - it's so lovely to see the world green up around me and to hear the rain on the roof at night as I snuggle under the covers.It's been three months since I wrote my last update and today I wanted to share a few of the highlights from the family, the blog, and life in general - I hope you'll enjoy them too.....
