I certainly think as humans, we can definitely be happy with less, but sometimes, society makes us think we have to keep up with the Joneses so to speak. Great post...very thought provoking!

We have a ridiculous amount of stuff in our lives and yet some want even more - I'm thinking less is definitely the way to move forward (and to have to carry in a backpack!)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-80119133528174870592017-09-14T15:18:15.228+08:002017-09-14T15:18:15.228+08:00I think it's part of the whole minimalism thin...I think it's part of the whole minimalism thing too Linda - we have finally realized that we've been swamped by "stuff" and less is definitely more.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-85625586374885151812017-09-09T19:55:07.585+08:002017-09-09T19:55:07.585+08:00Thank you, Leanne (and Rachel) for challenging us ...Thank you, Leanne (and Rachel) for challenging us all with this very thought-provoking idea. I agree that too much stuff quickly becomes cumbersome, especially as we age. 'Less' is quickly becoming the new 'more'. I believe that if we truly can sustain this, it will be for the benefit of us all.retirementreflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256842249783275416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-40551999690366812032017-09-09T17:52:51.830+08:002017-09-09T17:52:51.830+08:00I agree Leanne - less is definitely becoming more ...I agree Leanne - less is definitely becoming more appealing!

Sometimes I'd like to toss everything and go and live in one of those tiny houses, but I think we'd probably drive each other insane - it's all about balance and appreciation in the end.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-28215754059473161522017-09-08T23:59:36.095+08:002017-09-08T23:59:36.095+08:00Love this post, Leanne!

Less stuff to dust, less clutter to keep at bay, less emotional baggage to pack around. It's amazing how free you feel when you stop following the "gotta have more" mentality. Now the things that really matter have a chance to stay priorities in my life. What a wonderful thing to think about going into my weekend.Melody Smith https://www.blogger.com/profile/06992939822081379315noreply@blogger.com
