Savings Of Time; Liberating

Becoming Liberated
I have been doing some things to liberate myself.

  The pile of trash in front of my house LIBERATING


• 
  
  The 27 inches of less hair on my head LIBERATING


• 
  
  The 250 friends that no longer exists on my Facebook account LIBERATING
  My four trips to the recycling center this week LIBERATING


• 
  
  The accompanying four trips to the donation drop off center LIBERATING
  
• Why I feel like I need to liberated my life:

In December I had heart surgery followed my open heart surgery on Jan 4Th of 2010. I found my self with a lot of time to think during the 45 day recovery.

I decided that my talk show was not going the places I want it to go. I found that all the "newer" coupon guru's annoy me to death. I do not enjoy seeing and hearing all the new folks toot their own horns. I feel like one good trip to the grocery store does not make you an expert at what you do. Sometime if feels like and insult to the ones who have been around forever. I have wondered a ton if what I do actually helps people.....

You know I am about all around frugality. Maybe I should have been the Frugal Queen. This frugal life of mine is not about just having good trips to the grocery store. It is way deeper than that. I have written at least two other articles about it. You can read them here and here.

I also love , love , love to cook. can, and all around any type of preserving food. I enjoy gardening, foraging, gleaning, dehydrating and storing foods. I am all about frugality and not just coupons. I sometimes feel like my priorities are out of order. I have found that I need to change some things.

My Facebook wall would feel up in 2 hours with over a thousand things. I could never find what I cared about. I needed to simplify my time on Facebook.

My hair was a disaster from surgery and medication. I needed to simplify my stress with it.

I am not enjoying the house I live in. So I am getting rid of crap. Just because their is a place to keep it, does not mean I need to. Also we are most likely moving this summer. I have been donating tons of stuff and throwing out the trash. I cannot believe some of the things I was holding onto. I sat down with each of my four children and helped them go through things one item at a time and decide what to get rid of.

One thing I cannot change is family. Sometimes it is ok and sometimes family is complicated. I have no idea how to fix any of it. I love them all but, sometime I do not like the things they do.

Thanks for listening (reading) I would love input. By doing these things I should be SAVING myself time.
