Mindset Matters - Inspiration Thursday

"The basis of simplicity is the mindset - the absolute commitment to living well on a small amount of money, being a genuine part of a family and community, having enough and knowing it, even when it's much less than your neighbours are happy with... 

...and creating a life for yourself that revolves around what you love and the interests you've discovered.  We live and let live, we recycle, mend, make, grow and create and we do that with generous and accepting hearts. 

Each of us does that in our own way according to our version of the life, our experience and values, our age. 

The trick is to do it, for it to become your way of life, and even when times are tough, or you have extra money in the bank, you keep to your frugal ways."

                               - From "Keep to Your Frugal Ways," by Rhonda Hetzel.
